Sorry, but Google stands alone. Not really healthy competition like they claim. Utah SEO Pro's last blog post..Building an SEO Friendly Site - SES San Jose 2008 Presentation

Well, seeing as how YSM has done very little to change since buying Overture aside from the one change of becoming more like Google in the way it puts bids into the black box… I’m not convinced that Yahoo having incentive or not has any bearing on whether it will provide a better user experience with better traffic quality than what it has had.

Honestly, I’ve been reading a lot of opinions about this from organizations and writers who I’m pretty sure have NEVER logged into any PPC service and I find their viewpoints pretty much without a shred of validity.

Case in point, the World Association of Newspapers having anything to say about anything internet related other than “man, we sure are stoopid on the subject” is laughable.

Just glad there will be no Microsoft acquisition. Thank God and thank you Google. As someone who has sweated blood trying to build websites that work properly on Bills broken-ass software, the thought of M$ acquiring a sizable chunk of prime web real estate makes me want to hurl. Microsoft is not qualified and has no business administering the social web. Google on the other hand offers services complimentary to Yahoo's community offerings. No reason I can see why they shouldn't be partnering on advertising if it means more relevant ads for users. Luke's last blog post..jQuery, document.ready and the Prototype equivalent

I don't think prices would increase either. Everything that Google has done in the past has shown that they are shooting for long term growth in their ad market. It would be foolish and counterproductive to raise prices after acquiring such a large chuck of the market. Joe Hall's last blog post..Bloggers deserve real tips not stolen goods!
