Yahoo! will begin a limited test of Google's AdSense for Search service, which will deliver relevant Google ads alongside Yahoo!'s own search results. The test will apply only to traffic from yahoo.com in the US and will not include Yahoo!'s extended network of affiliate or premium publisher partners. The test is expected to last up to two weeks and will be limited to no more than 3 percent of Yahoo! search queries. The company noted that the testing does not necessarily mean that Yahoo! will join the AdSense for Search program or that any further commercial relationship with Google will result. The company further stated that it would not comment on the nature or timing of any potential relationship. Microsoft issued a statement in response to the news, saying a tie-up between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90 percent of the se

Google is interested in pursuing closer ties with Yahoo, according to the former company's founders. Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt made the observation before Google's annual general meeting on Thursday, in response to questions on whether they would move beyond a two-week trial of Google advertising on Yahoo's network. "We have been talking to Yahoo and we are very excited to be working with them," says Brin. He calls the trial program "successful," and suggests that it is a "good basis to talk to Yahoo some more."

Google has definitely aided Yahoo, its search engine rival, in more than one way. As reported earlier, intial tests with Google placing relevant ads on Yahoo's search pages have received positive vibes from both companies. Preparing its quarterly earnings report in this week, Yahoo will be riding on Google's positive financial report to substantiate its claim that Microsoft is paying for much less than what Yahoo should be receiving in lieu of a robust online advertising market.

Yahoo and Google are launching a small experiment in which ads selected and delivered by Google would appear on Yahoo searches. That would probably give Yahoo more cash, because Google generates more revenue per search query than Yahoo. The development is widely seen as an effort by Yahoo to avoid the buyout advances of Microsoft.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Yahoo Inc. is turning over some of its advertising space to Internet search leader Google Inc. as part of a two-week test that could lead to a broader partnership. The experiment the companies announced Wednesday will allow Google to place ads alongside about 3 percent of the queries made in the United States through Yahoo's search engine -- the Internet's second largest after Google's. Sunnyvale-based Yahoo said it hasn't decided to join the thousands of other Web sites that rely on Google to handle most of the text-based advertising that is tied to search requests or other online content. Just the prospect of Yahoo working with the Internet's most profitable company throws a new dynamic into its effort to extract a higher takeover bid from its unsolicited suitor, Microsoft Corp.

mikkl666 writes "Even just since this morning, there's much to report in the ongoing fight between Microsoft and Yahoo!. After Yahoo! announced yesterday that they are testing Google AdSense, Microsoft reacted with a comment pointing out that 'any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google's hands.' Ironically, they complain that 'this would make the market far less competitive.' Both companies try to team up with strong partners, as well. Yahoo! and AOL are now closing in on a deal to combine their Internet operations. And of course, this morning's news was that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is apparently in talks for a joint bid for Yahoo!"

A web seminar Google held yesterday at KMWorld Magazine offered a great deal of insight into how Google manages projects and communication internally. The presentation by Google followed an employee through his first few weeks at the company, explaining the many tools he’s using: from the Google intranet MOMA, the Google Ideas site and Google Caribou Alpha, to Google Experts Search, “Googler Search,” and Google Apps. Following is a smaller excerpt of the large-size screenshots & info Google was showing in the 59-page presentation, with thanks to Brian – who has a wrap-up of the presentation as well as the full slides at his blog – for sending this in. KMWorld says the presentation will be archived at their site eventually, so perhaps if you register with them you might still be able to see the event.

Wednesday Yahoo! announced that it would be starting a limited trial of Google AdSense for Search service. This would deliver Google ads alongside Yahoo!’s search results, rather than Yahoo! ads. Yep, essentially Yahoo! is trying outsourcing Search Ads to Google.

San Francisco - An advertising alliance between Yahoo and Google was viewed as increasingly likely Friday after Google CEO Eric Schmidt said a two-week test had been a "brilliant" success. Expanding the test, which involved Google serving ads on Yahoo's search pages, could increase Yahoo's revenues by over 1 billion dollars a year, since Google's algorithms are 70 per cent more successful at generating revenue-bearing click-throughs.

With Microsoft's previously given deadline of 26th April drawing nearer, Yahoo has made some plans with Google with the two-week test in which Yahoo placed relevant ads from Google on its search results. Talks of antitrust issues are floating in the air if the two major search engines are looking at possible merge in lieu of Microsoft's undervalued offer as claimed by Yahoo, but the final straw hasn't been drawn till next week where we'll see if Yahoo accepts the Microsoft deal, or forces the Redmond company to act on its ultimatum and initiate a proxy fight for Yahoo's shares.

Talk about a losing streak: First, Microsoft lost a stake in AOL to Google. Then Microsoft lost all of DoubleClick to Google. Now Microsoft may lose Yahoo to Google. In fact, even if Microsoft loses Yahoo to AOL, it still would be losing to Google, as Google owns 5% of AOL. (In December 2005, Time Warner sold that stake to Google for $1 billion. Time Warner wanted to shake the attentions of Microsoft, which also was bidding for a stake in AOL).

SAN FRANCISCO (AP): Microsoft Corp’s attempt to take over Yahoo Inc. has become so tortured it may help Internet search and advertising leader Google Inc. grow stronger, undermining Microsoft’s main reason for pursing the deal in the first place. “We find this to be a very advantageous situation for Google,” Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Derek Brown said Thursday. “The longer this gets dragged out, the better for Google.” Yahoo signaled it is bracing for a protracted battle late Wednesday when an announcement and a media leak provided a glimpse at its labyrinthine search for alternatives to Microsoft’s bid of more than $40 billion (25.2 billion euros). The options include an experimental advertising alliance with Google that could lead to a broader partnership and, according to published reports, a combination with the online operations of Ti

Yahoo HotJobs introduces ranked searches: A dismal economy inevitably tends to lead to more job seekers, so perhaps Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) has timed the launch of HotJobs’ new search ranking system just right. Dubbed “R.E.A.L. (for “Relevance, Engagement, Availability and Location") the system is meant to give recruiters greater insights into job seekers’ behavior. The system uses Yahoo’s behavioral targeting and search optimization tools to rank job listings based on user engagement, as opposed to what Yahoo calls “traditional category-based, date-sorted experience.” So far, Yahoo claims that since the beta launch earlier this year, “applies” per job listing have increased by 25 percent.

An interesting turn of events on the OpenSocial scene, with Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) agreeing to embrace the Google-backed social app distribution platform. Yahoo, Google and MySpace have agreed to form the OpenSocial Foundation—“an independent non-profit entity with a formal intellectual property and governance framework”—and to add related assets by July 2008. The online home for the foundation will be www.opensocial.org. (It’s currently housed on Google, but since part of this seems to be about shifting OpenSocial away from a Google-owned image, that could change.) Release.

Whilst Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo is still in the works, Google has upped the ante even further with its confirmed acquisition of DoubleClick, a global Internet Advertising Solutions company. The fact of the matter is, talks of Google's bid for DoubleClick is probably what prompted Microsoft to react and start gunning for Yahoo to rival Google's online market share, but with delayed talks amongst Microsoft and Yahoo, it seems Google currently has the upper hand in this aspect, which could potentially dominate the online advertising realm in the years to come.
