Google has abandoned its planned search advertising cooperation with Yahoo! following resistance from regulators to the deal. The two had voluntarily put the partnership up for regulatory review, but after four months of talks and attempts at amending the deal, they were unable to obtain clearance from the US Department of Justice. Google said continuing with the agreement "risked not only a protracted legal battle but also damage to relationships with valued partners". Yahoo! said it was disappointed that Google was unwilling to defend the agreement in court. Yahoo! plans to continue to invest in search services. The agreement had centred on Google providing Yahoo! and its partner websites with search advertising in the US and Canada.

Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc. agreed to delay an Internet advertising partnership while U.S. regulators investigate whether the deal will hurt competition. The companies agreed to a "brief" delay while discussions with the Justice Department continue, Yahoo and Google said yesterday in e-mailed statements. Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt said in August that the partnership would start in early October. Competitors, consumer advocates and customers questioned whether the partnership would give Google too much control over advertising and information on the Web. The plan raised eyebrows as soon as it was announced in mid-June because Google and Yahoo together handle more than 80 per cent of U.S. Web searches. GOOG (Nasdaq) fell $3.58 (U.

JagsLive writes with a link to a BetaNews story about a US Senator who is questioning whether the deal between Yahoo and Google was brokered with less than honorable intentions on Google's part. The advertising deal came under scrutiny from the Department of Justice recently for potential antitrust violations. The deal has now been delayed in order to allow investigators more time for evaluation. Meanwhile, rumors are circulating that Yahoo will cut as much as 20% of its workforce after an internal memo from CEO Jerry Yang called for "discipline" and said the company was "getting fit" for the long term. For their part, Google has launched a site endorsing the deal and attempting to smooth the way for its approval by providing facts and positive reactions from experts.

Google had originally announced an advertising deal with Yahoo back in June, which would have been worth $800m a year to the latter. Google is now dropping the deal in the face of anti-trust objections from concerned parties including Microsoft and the Association of National Advertisers. Yahoo is reportedly disappointed that Google didn't want to put up a fight in court, while Google have said that a protracted legal battle would simply distract from their core mission of innovation. Overall, it is another piece of bad news in what has been a turbulent year for Yahoo.

JagsLive points out a Reuters story which suggests that Google may walk away from its deal with Yahoo instead of accepting possible antitrust limitations from the government. The ongoing investigation of the deal by the Department of Justice has caused new concerns to be raised over whether the two companies have adequately addressed issues such as privacy and competition. From Reuters: "'Are they more serious about walking away? Yes. Have they decided? I'm not sure,' one source told Reuters on Friday. 'Yahoo wants the deal, and they're willing to have Google sign anything at the Justice Department to have them do it.' ... Part of the impetus of Google's walking away could be Yahoo's talks with Time Warner Inc about buying the content and advertising operations of its AOL unit.

BRUSSELS: The EU s top competition regulator has opened an investigation into a proposed online advertising tie-up between internet giants Google and Yahoo, a spokesman said Tuesday. "This is an agreement between two of the major players on the Internet clearly we are being prudent" in opening the probe, said Jonathan Todd, spokesman for EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes. "We don t know whether there is a problem we are looking at it in case there is," he said of the preliminary investigation which was launched in July. "We are looking at whether the merger may have some anti-competitive effects in the European area," he added. Google and Yahoo say the deal is limited to web properties in the United States and Canada but Google has said there is potential to extend it to other parts of the world.

An anonymous reader writes "Russian regulators will not let Google buy a local online advertising company, halting a $140 million deal agreed to in July.

Begun is owned by Rambler Media, a Russian company that own various Web sites and runs a search engine. Google said it is reviewing the decision of Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) and hasn't decided how to react. Slashdot has previously covered some of the issues surrounding Google's muscle in the advertising market."

Washington - Unable to appease federal regulators and advertisers concerned about its potential dominance of the web search market, Google (NASD: GOOG) on Wednesday pulled out of its online ad deal with rival Yahoo (NASD: YHOO).

With the Justice Department considering whether to look more deeply into the Google/Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) search ad pact for potential antitrust violations, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has been aggressively mounting a public relations campaign defending the tie-up. On Friday, Yahoo President Sue Decker had her say in a rare post on Yahoo's official blog. She had several points to convey about the deal: one, that Yahoo be a stronger competitor in all aspects of online advertising; and secondly, it is not exiting the sponsored search business. Decker also stressed that the partnership will not give Google 90% of all search marketing.
