Google really wants to make sure that Microsoft won’t get their hands on rival Yahoo. So much so that they’re willing to enter and expand an advertising partnership with Yahoo, that may prevent Microsoft from renewing any bids for the company in the future.
By making sure that Yahoo does well, Google is ensuring that it won’t fall into the hands of Microsoft, who is eager to take over Yahoo in an attempt to seriously compete with Google.
At a press round table before Google’s annual shareholders meeting on Thursday, Google co-founder Sergey Brin said, “We were a big partner of Yahoo a few years ago. It’s great to be working with them again.” [Read more →]
Everyone seems to like twitter these days which is a really cool way of staying in touch with your customers, friends & colleagues. Basically twitter has presented itself as a micro-blogging platform where a user can shout out anything they want to his ‘followers’ within the limit of 140 characters.
I have just started twittering since last month (*yes I’m pretty late starter!) because initially by looking at it for the very first time, I couldn’t find any ‘value’ that it has for my work & my social life. However after reading a convincing post by Aaron Wall, I thought of giving twitter a try. Since then onwards I have been using twitter all day long, just to keep track of some of the leading experts in the Internet & Search Marketing field as well as to have some ‘fun’ with my online buddies.
Anyway the whole point of doing this post is to highlight some of the key monetization elements that an individual can explore using twitter. I assume you have the basic knowledge of what twitter is and how it works, so I will directly deep into some ideas which can make you earn money from your twitter. [Read more →]

Dave Naylor posts this screenshot of Yahoo Answers serving Ads by Google above answers search results. According to the screenshot, which was sent in by a DaveN reader, it looks like the Google Ads are being served along with the Yahoo Search Marketing ads.
I don’t know, something smells fishy here. A photoshop mock-up perhaps? I’d assume that the Google and Yahoo results would be blended in together, like Ask.com does with Google or Microsoft did with Yahoo Ads.
If this is the real thing, perhaps Google is playing hardball and requesting that Yahoo actually brand the ads as Ads by Google in order to reach a specific revenue share level. Hopefully more will come of this in time. In the meantime, enjoy.
