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.

Analysis: Google Users Big Spenders Online - Update

I got a request today to update the chart I posted back in February comparing the online audience for Yahoo! Search and Google.com given yesterday's announcement about a advertising deal between the two. Last time I did the analysis I found an age gap - with Yahoo! Search users skewing younger than Google.com users - and also found that Google users tend to be bigger spenders online. The age gap has closed slightly so that Yahoo! Search users still do tend to skew younger than Google but by a smaller margin than in February.

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.

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.

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

Google 'stronger than ever' after Microsoft-Yahoo tussle

SAN FRANCISCO (AP): Microsoft Corp’s abandoned takeover bid for Yahoo Inc. appears to have culminated with a disheartening thud for those two companies but amounted to yet another coup for online search leader Google Inc. What began in January as Microsoft’s most audacious attack yet on Google instead paved the way for the Internet’s most powerful company to gain even more clout through a deal that gives Google access to a large chunk of Yahoo’s advertising space. By submitting to a partnership that endorses Google’s search advertising technology as a better choice than its own, Yahoo is giving online marketers even more incentive to spend most of their money with its biggest rival, according to industry analysts. It looks like such a sweet deal for Google that the US Justice Department and lawmakers are expected to take a hard look at th

Google Earth, Now With Browser Goodness

Google announced this week that their Google Earth application can now be used from the browser, instead of having to download and install the desktop application. "Google also launched an JavaScript API that lets you interact with the globe, draw markers, add layers or integrate with Google Maps. 'The Google Earth Plug-in and its APIs let you embed the full power of Google Earth and its 3D rendering capabilities into your web pages.'

Google hunts Yahoo ties, dumps human rights motions...

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."

Finding Fault With Google's Privacy Policy

orenh writes "Viacom has recently obtained a court order that requires Google to hand over a complete list of every video watched by YouTube users. These logs will include the login names and IP addresses of the users. Google are now asking Viacom if they can anonymize the logs before turning them over; Viacom hasn't responded yet. But this privacy nightmare could have been greatly reduced if Google had anonymized the data in advance. Google's privacy policy states that they keep personally identifiable information for 18 months. There is no real reason to do so; Google can achieve everything they need even if they anonymize their search logs after just one month, and it's time users told them to do so."

Yahoo-Google pact seen likely after 'brilliant' trial

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.

Yahoo Ends Talks With Microsoft, Embraces Google Instead

snydeq writes with a story from InfoWorld which says that "Yahoo has ended its talks with Microsoft and is instead nearing an agreement with Google. Yahoo's purported reason for breaking off the talks? That Microsoft was only interested in purchasing Yahoo's search business, not all of the company. 'Such a transaction would not be consistent with the company's view of the converging search and display marketplaces, would leave the company without an independent search business that it views as critical to its strategic future and would not be in the best interests of Yahoo stockholders,' the company said in a statement. The deal with Google allegedly involves Yahoo's search advertising business. The move likely will draw more ire from Icahn and may in fact remain part of the elaborate poker game between the two companies.

Delving Into Google Health's Privacy Concerns

SecureThroughObscure writes "Security researcher Robert 'RSnake' Hansen discusses numerous concerns with Google's new Google Health application, which aims to integrate user's medical records online. We discussed Google Health's opening to the public earlier this week. RSnake mentions that Google has found a loophole allowing them to provide this service without having to follow HIPAA regulations, which, combined with Google's track record of having numerous flaws leading to private information disclosure, draws serious concern. Security researcher Nate McFeters of ZDNet's Zero-Day Security Blog also commented on the article, mentioning several past vulnerabilities: ownership of content issues, Google Docs theft, a cross-domain hole, Google XSS, and a Google Picasa protocol handler issue leading to the theft of user images.

Google Finance to add more data to fight Yahoo, AOL

Google plans to expand its finance Web site by adding more historical data and company filings as it tries to gain ground on more-popular services from Yahoo and AOL. The company will also seek to improve its 2-year-old finance site by offering real-time stock prices from the New York Stock Exchange on a permanent basis after a four-month pilot started this week, said R.J. Pittman, director of product management. Google's finance pages had 2.07 million U.S. visitors last month, ranking 13th on researcher ComScore's list of top financial sites. The company plans to use its search technology to help users find data more efficiently, rather than adding editorial content to lure more users, Pittman said. Adding features such as up-to-the-minute stock quotes will help Google lure more visitors that may then visit the company's other sites, sai

Yahoo CEO Discusses Google Venture To Lawmakers

June19, 2008 (FinancialWire) Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) (Current Market Cap: US$31.64 Bil.) CEO Jerry Yang visited US Senate and House leaders in Washington to discuss details of the Internet company's proposed search advertising pact with rival Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Yang met with Senator Herb Kohl, D-Wis., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Antitrust Subcommittee, although a spokeswoman did not identify any other specific members. Lawmakers have voiced concerns over the deal with Google, which would have Yahoo distribute certain search queries made through its sites in order to have them matched up with advertisements.

Update: Yahoo-Google partnership reportedly under DOJ scrutiny

On June 12, Yahoo said it would run advertisements supplied by Google alongside search query results, a four-year deal estimated to bring Yahoo up to $800 million in revenue a year. "We are continuing to have cooperative discussions with the Department of Justice about this arrangement," Google said in a statement.

Icahn To Yahoo (Again): I Do Have A Credible Plan; Google Leaving You In The Dust

The spat between Icahn and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) really should be taking place in the comments section of a blog, given how repetitive and unproductive it is. Today the war of public letters continues where it left off Friday, as Icahn has sent another missive to the Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock. Icahn’s argument this time (paraphrased): ‘I do have a plan, and you are mis-stating my position when you say I don’t.’ On the case for replacing Yang: “It is extremely important to note that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) hired a great operator as a CEO who helped to transform the Company into a giant at the expense of Yahoo! According to publicly available financial information, while Google’s income from operations grew 59% per year over the last two years, Yahoo!’s income from operations shrank 21%.

SafeMed Collaborates With Google on Launch of Google Health

How To Structure a Yahoo-Google Search Deal

Even as Carl Icahn rallies angry shareholders to try to force Yahoo (YHOO) back to the bargaining table with Microsoft (MSFT), one of the “strategic alternatives� Yahoo may still be trying to work out in the background is a search advertising deal with Google. There is a 60 to 70 percent gap between what Google collects for search ads and what Yahoo collects, so simply handing over a portion of its search advertising inventory to Google would boost its cash flow and profits considerably—perhaps adding as much as $1 billion or more in cash flow.
