Thanks for the stats, it’s getting hard to know what to expect from the major search engines. Seems that google might take over the web (though I hope they don’t)

There is more competition competing on ppc now and more competitors will continue to advertise, and then of course there are more end users “optimising” their ads.

Searchforithere.com does not charge on a pay per click basis. So your business celebrates profit, not the search engine.

As good an innovator as Google is, just imagine how good they would be, if they had some serious competition in the PPC biz to push them a little harder. I'd really like to see a Yahoo+MSN PPC alternative that was on par with Adsense. Top Rated Digital's last blog post..What's The Top Rated Canon Digital Camera?

I think it can continue for quite a long time.

Soon there will be only one…

Google sure is devouring everything else in its way. I wonder how long this can continue for?

Google is not sucking up yahoos money. It is sucking up the advertisers money with CPC costs rising that high. Thats the effect of the monopoly. I agree with “Fifty Studio”: Google is too big, they should be separated in different companies. Although i must admit i have absolutely no idea how this should work technically

@Utah SEO Pro – Yeah, he was supposed to be in the background – this smaller, but my perspective was off. I think it may have had something to do with the tone of the colors I used as well. I’ll try harder next time!

I guess te one who get the benefit from endless bidding of Yahoo and Microsoft is Google. They don’t realize it I think…

Googlebot should be bigger than Yahoo/MSN not smaller.

Interesting stats, I hadn't heard any of these. You'd think they could follow the same model? Maybe the combined powers would work. Erik's last blog post..Surrounded by Freelance Entrepreneurs

Cost per click goes up year on year for Google – what a surprise, no wonder so many are investing in SEO for organic search engine visibility, the CPC model’s not viable for many small businesses to compete.

Nice. This research seems to back up what so many other people are speculating. As much as I hate to admit it, MSFT is doing so much better than Yahoo in the paid area. I've pulled my spending in yahoo and applied it elsewhere. It breaks my heart. Kate Morris's last blog post..15 Signs an SEO Girl Likes You

And google is also sucking our ad spend dollars with increasing PPC rates. It kind of makes you wonder if Google destined for the “Ma Bell” treatment.
