Questions about the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance

March 11, 2010 in Hot Topics by

Share on Facebook

Advertisers and agencies have questions; we have answers A few weeks ago, we announced U.S. and E.U clearance for the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance . This was, naturally, big news in the search marketing world. That post garnered some 60 comments from our engaged advertising and agency customers. Most of these comments were positive. Understandably, some of you had questions and concerns about your accounts. But the most important fact for you to know regarding the search alliance is that, as noted in our FAQ’s : We will begin with the algorithmic search transition, with a goal of completing transition of at least the U.S. market by the end of 2010. We also hope to make significant progress transitioning U.S. advertisers and publishers in 2010 prior to the crucial holiday season, but may wait until 2011 if we determine that the transition will be more effective after the holiday season. All global customers and partners are expected to be transitioned by early 2012. What do I do now? This naturally invokes the question, “So what do I, as an advertiser, need to do in the meantime?” The short answer is “nothing.” Keep on doing what you’re doing. During this time, we’ll continue innovating and we’ll ping you when routine updates and enhancements are made available—just as we do now. When the time comes to transition your account to Microsoft adCenter, you’ll be informed about what you’ll need to do, with instructions on how to do it. What about all of Yahoo’s bells and whistles? Several of you asked, in short, if all the bells and whistles that you have come to expect from Yahoo! will be ported over to your future Microsoft adCenter account—things like negative keywords, character length of ads, and so forth.

My Basic 3 Pronged Approach To Website Analytics

The other day a non-technical friend of mine told me how his webhost shut him off because he was using too much bandwidth. I was pretty surprised because they allocate him hundreds of GB per month and his website does not get much traffic. He was dumbfounded. He loaded up his Google Analytics account and showed me that he was only getting about 50-100 unique visitors a day
