Yeah, they don't need to worry about a search engine now so they hopefully have more time to work on their ad network. At the moment Google Adsense has no real competition.
True but also lots of people are spending money on Google, that's how you and Google make money. With G's near monopoly of online advertising they can pretty much set the prices. If you look, many of the big time advertisers are complaining about the near stranglehold G has on them now. Perhaps the MS/Yahoo partnership will create some competition and advertisers with have an alternative which could affect the whole advertising pricing structure. Only time will tell. In the mean time I have my YPN and hope to get a Microsoft pubCenter invite soon for how ever it turns out.
I don't like Microsoft, but also I don't want Google dominate too much for web searching. Hope Bing doing better and better.
Unfortunately BING has reverted back to its old ways like live.com in that the searches it sends us are now 1 word "searches" which is garbage traffic.. EX: http://www.bing.com/search?q=directory Just when you thought a webmaster would catch a break ... Ohhh well, as long as they take some of googles almighty power im ok with it laterz malcolm
There has been a deal of some kind. I think Yahoo SE will now be powered by BING. Got this news at Matt Cutts Blog: microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2009/jul09/07-29release.mspx
Will they change there name to Y(ahoo)(B)ing = Ying Or maybe Ya(hoo)(bi)ng = Yang Or maybe even Ying yang search? There slogan could be "Ying yang search - bringing piece to all users and webmasters" lol
the thing is, that microsoft is expanding bite after bite. i can defently see that in my analytics stat, bing and yahoo are a major player there. for adsense users things couldnt be better.
Whats a Bing and a Yahoo...lol? Must be hand-me-downs or something G let go years ago? You would think that Microsoft has enough to do with updating and fixing it's operating systems they charge an arm and a leg for.
Well if we get some alternative of Google Adsense That pay better then google, then we can have google's big competitors , because i see there are lot of webmasters those are tired from google adsense
