Google / Yahoo Spells Big Changes For Yahoo

Could this be the beginning of the end for Yahoo? Yahoo's interest in a search deal with Google was initially viewed as a poison pill move to thwart efforts of Microsoft to acquire Yahoo. I certainly saw it that way as did many others. Yahoo has continued down this path, announcing a deal with Google late Thursday afternoon. The deal basically outsources Yahoo's search ad placement to Google AdSense. Hey, I use AdSense on my personal blog, so why shouldn't Yahoo! The more the merrier I always say.

Google beats Yahoo as most popular U.S. web destination for April

(RTTNews) - In yet another blow to Internet information provider Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO), Google Inc. (GOOG) took the number one spot in the U.S. web properties ranking from Yahoo for the first time in the month of April. Yahoo is already under pressure from various sources as it has been steadily losing its search engine market share. A monthly analysis released by ComScore Inc. (SCOR) for April revealed that Google sites had 141.1 million visitors, an increase of 18% from the same month last year. Meanwhile, Yahoo sites fell to second place with only 140.6 million visitors for the month, which is an increase of 17% from the year-ago period. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) was third with about 121 million visitors. Google has long been the Internet's leader in search, but its audience has trailed Yahoo's when counting other services such as e-mail and

Yahoo to run Google Adsense; Gchat/YIM link up...

Building on its text-advertising dominance, Google on Thursday said that it has reached an agreement to allow Yahoo to serve Google's Adsense search and contextual advertising as well as allow enable users on Gchat and Yahoo! Messenger to communicate without between the networks. Under the predicted non-exclusive 10-year agreement, Yahoo! has the option to display Google ads alongside its own natural search results in the U.S. and Canada and Yahoo! can serve contextually targeted ads on its U.S. and Canadian web properties as well as on its current publisher partner sites. Yahoo, however, is free to enter into similar agreements with other advertising providers and use Google's advertising on as many or as few of its search results and content pages as it chooses.

Microsoft loses U.S. search users to Google and Yahoo

Microsoft lost Internet search users in the United States to Google and former takeover target Yahoo last month, research firm ComScore said. Microsoft, the world's biggest software maker, handled 8.5 percent of queries in May, down from 9.1 percent the month before, Reston, Va.-based ComScore said Thursday in a statement. Google extended its lead to 61.8 percent, and Yahoo grew to 20.6 percent, ComScore said. The companies are vying for a bigger piece of the $41 billion online advertising market. Microsoft's talks to buy Yahoo's search business for $1 billion ended last week, around the time Yahoo struck a deal to show some Google ads on its search pages. Microsoft's proposal would have included an $8 billion investment in Yahoo. Google handled 61.

Yahoo Files Lawsuit Against Lottery Spammers

(RTTNews) - Internet service provider Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) on Tuesday announced that it has filed a lawsuit against 'Yahoo lottery spammers' for sending unauthorized e-mail messages to internet users making them believe to have won a lottery or prize offered by Yahoo!. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York City, under the Federal Trade Mark Act, the Federal Can-Spam Act, and related state laws. Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo! noted that it does not offer any such awards and has no connection with the spammers or their e-mail communications. Further, the company said through continued litigation efforts it plans to go after individuals who have attempted to negatively impact Yahoo e-mail experience for consumers across the Internet.

Yahoo! rejected Microsoft bid for search business, due to exclusivity clause

Microsoft dropped bid for all of Yahoo! on 8 June and launched a bid of USD 1 billion for Yahoo!'s search business and a share of future search advertising revenue. This proposal also included an USD billion investment in Yahoo! but required Yahoo! to commit to a 10-year exclusive arrangement, according to a letter sent to Yahoo! stockholders by CEO Jerry Yang and Chairman Roy Bostock. The letter explains the reasons for Yahoo! to sign a four year non-exclusive deal with Google for online advertising services and to end the talks with Microsoft, as their search-only hybrid proposal may have been helpful to Microsoft. The board and its advisers also carefully studied the financial impact of Microsoft's proposal and concluded that it would have provided no meaningful improvement to the operating cash flow.

Microsoft-Yahoo Searching For A Price; Talks Could End Next Week: Reports

In the latest developments between Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), Reuters reports that the two parties are now focused on arriving at a value for Yahoo’s search business, and that discussions could end in the “next week or so.” The story, which quoted an unnamed person familiar with the matter, said in the latest scenario, Microsoft is proposing to buy Yahoo’s search business and take a minority stake in the company after Yahoo sells off its Asian assets. But apparently, the complicated part is in determining a price. The source explained that any amount “would be tied to how revenue-sharing and other deal terms are structured.” Two possibilities: Microsoft may pay Yahoo for search queries and traffic acquisition costs and Yahoo may seek guarantees on the rate Microsoft will pay and a specific time commitment f

Carl Icahn Takes on Yahoo's Board

narramissic and several others have written to point out that Carl Icahn has initiated a proxy battle with Yahoo's board of directors over their rejection of Microsoft's bid for the company in February. Icahn has purchased millions of Yahoo shares over the past week and assembled a group of nine other investors (including Mark Cuban) to persuade the board to resume talks with Microsoft. Yahoo remains unimpressed. Icahn's letter to Yahoo accuses: "It is unconscionable that you have not allowed your shareholders to choose to accept an offer that represented a 72% premium over Yahoo's closing price of $19.18 on the day before the initial Microsoft offer. I and many of your shareholders strongly believe that a combination between Yahoo and Microsoft would form a dynamic company and more importantly would be a force strong enough to compete wi

Microsoft Offered $40 a Share For Yahoo

fistfullast33l writes "Bloomberg is reporting that a recently unsealed court case by shareholders against Yahoo reveals that Microsoft offered $40 a share for the Internet search company in January 2007 and Yahoo turned it down. We've extensively discussed Microsoft's bid for Yahoo earlier this year for $33 a share, which was rebuffed. Investor Carl Icahn has launched a proxy fight against Yahoo over the spurning of the Microsoft deal." CWmike notes of Computerworld's coverage of the revelations: "The complaint places much of the blame on [Yahoo CEO Jerry] Yang, describing him as someone with a 'well-known' antipathy toward Microsoft who acted out of a personal interest to keep Yahoo independent. Something wrong with that? Oh, yeah... public company.

Yahoo files trademark suit against 'Yahoo Lottery Spammers'
