Does anybody know when Bing will power Yahoo in UK? Bing already powers US, Canada and Australia. In January there were rumours that UK was next but 3 months after there's no change.
Microsoft and Yahoo have ten year agreement, which means that Yahoo search results will be powered by Bing. If you go to yahoo.com and search for anything you will see at the bottom of the page notice saying that the search results are powered by Bing. Unfortunately, integration is very slow and only a few countries have been integrated so far.
No one knows when it will get to Uk but maybe you should keep reading journals and news that way you won't be kept in the loop when it comes.
@praetserge Do you think it's good to use common database for both SE? What benefits you are getting?
It's quite clear... if you don't know then don't post. If one has better ranking in Bing than in yahoo it is better.
Last year I got this message from Bing: Learn about the Microsoft and Yahoo! relationship Our aim is to implement the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance in the U.S. and Canada prior to the 2010 holiday shopping season, with additional countries following on a staggered schedule beginning in 2011. The assumption is that UK is one of the additional countries, finger crossed as to when it will be implimented but they have upgdated Bing advert Terms and conditions to incude Yahoo in the 3rd party they may share your informatioon with.
Thanks temi. That's what I've heard as well but so far, 3 months into 2011, there's no update. As I understand it will be done in 2011 for sure.
I hope so but i think it is possible that yahoo powered by bing and bing powered by yahoo they both are same
