I decided to take a crack at Yahoo’s Overture PPC program today and stumbled across this page that talks about paid inclusion in Yahoo!’s Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Now this doesn’t seem like bribery at first, but…

Yahoo! Search Marketing or Search Bribery?
Let me start by saying these rumors are most likely fake. Blogs like Search Engine Journal take the fact that just because the stock price rose by nearly 19% for Yahoo!, it dropped earlier this morning.

Rumors of Microsoft buying Yahoo!

MyBlogLog has been catching the attention of bloggers throughout the blogosphere at an alarming rate. More and more bloggers have added the famous MyBlogLog widget to their sidebar to display the latest visitors to their blog. There have been a lot of rumors flying around that MyBlogLog might be acquired by Yahoo! and it turns out to be true!
While browsing for a way to unfreeze my frozen iPod on Yahoo!, I went through some decent search results, but when I reached the bottom of the page, the following image caught my eye:

Yahoo! Promoting Yahoo! Answers in SERP’s

Yahoo! launched their very own Yahoo! Search Marketing Blog. There doesn’t seem to be much activity at the moment, but considering their other recently released blog, Yahoo! Search Blog, I don’t think this would be a lot different. It would simply have a different layout, but most likely cover the same topic. However, I don’t think the Yahoo! Search Blog contained much of anything that was interesting. Hopefully the new one will be better!

Yahoo! is offering a $50 free promotion code for new users which sign up for Overture! It used to be $100, but I guess they changed it after a ton of sign-ups! There is a $200 free promotion code out there as well, but it has been kept well secret pretty well though! If anyone finds it, let me know!

Well this was an idiotic move by Yahoo! Advertising. I noticed over on GameScript that a ton of arcade webmasters were complaining about Yahoo! advertising rates getting lower and lower and most people are quitting. Not only have the forums been talking about this, but Yahoo! itself announced that their rates have been dropping. Continue Reading »

Microsoft always had an advantage over Google and Yahoo! because MSN Search was the default homepage for Internet Explorer on all the Microsoft computers. This will definitely send them a ton of traffic, right? Continue Reading »
Yahoo! is the new Internet Explorer Default
Well, to most people, Google is dominating the internet as we know it. However, now they are trying to dominate English as well! The Seattle times reports that Google is now using their trademark to prevent people from saying “Why don’t you Google it?” or “Google and find out for yourself”.

Google Controls English - Yahoo!’s Opening
Well Jake (a reader of Google BlogoScoped), had a simple idea of checking the W3C Markup Validation of the top Search Engines out there:
- MSN – Passed!
- Altavista – Failed, 38 errors
- Yahoo – Failed, 41 errors
- Google – Failed, 61 errors
- Ask.com – Failed, 64 errors
- Dogpile – Failed, 70 errors
It was a unique idea in it’s own sort of way, which shows which Search Engines (no matter how big they are) follow simple W3C Validation.
There are tons of websites which offer free desktop wallpapers and usually require you to download a program with a virus. The experienced web users can pick this out in a second, but Google obviously can’t! That’s why Scandoo (owned by ScanSafe) comes out and identifies it for you!

Yahoo! launched a new Search Engine Crawler last week (July 28th, 2006), Yahoo! Slurp, which is believed to be more efficient at crawling websites and indexing them.
