How Important Is Yahoo Now?
With the annoucement Tuesday that Microsoft's Bing service will be providing the algorithm for all Yahoo searches for the next 10 years, how important does Yahoo now become to your business?
Well, the jury is still out, but some industry experts believe the Bing/Yahoo! partnership could now account for 30-35% of all internet searches. If numbers like that are true, it definitely puts Yahoo back in the search game against Google.
In other words, how you show up in Yahoo searches can impact up to 1/3 of the customers who find you through organic search. Something to be mindful of, to be sure.
I was in a meeting yesterday where the speaker pulled Bing up on his 36" computer screen. Very impressive! We should consider connecting them up into our sites then!
Thank you!
