I agree that Google could certainly use the competition, however, I can't help but feel that Yahoo has made a fatal mistake with this agreement. Microsoft is the type of company to take over, rather than partner. Time will tell if the move is good for the Yahoo users as well as the companies involved. .-= Sherryd´s last blog ..Review: Answer Analyst =-.

How can this be bad news? It means that Google will actually have some competition, which should inspire innovation from all and give Microsoft the opportunity to really test it’s muscle, something it hasn’t had the search volume to do previously. It’s great news for search marketers and search advertisers both!

There’s nothing about paid inclusion though. Will it be terminated? SEO will definitely need to be modified, but might it be for the better? Here’s a nice take on how it will affect different aspects of SEM: http://kl.am/1P6m

This also means work for marketers…yahoo ranks and costs will change so SEO needs to be modified.

As per revenue concern this deal will be going to good, but their is a chance that yahoo may loose some search user base who love yahoo’s search engine, off course it is very earlier to predict but in long run yahoo search engine may loose it’s weight age

Let see what will happened is this deal going to be worth while to treat google………
