As you’ve likely heard, Yahoo and Microsoft have created a partnership that will likely have a huge impact on the search engine industry. According to reports, Microsoft’s Bing search engine will handle the technological aspect of the partnership, while Yahoo will handle the sales.
The big news for search marketers is the fact that Yahoo’s current technology will end up being a thing of the past. If Yahoo’s search engine is going to use Bing’s technology, current high placements in Yahoo will soon become irrelevant.
Even though there will still be some time under the current system, search marketing experts should begin to make changes now. Find out what works on Bing to figure out what will soon work on Yahoo. For informational purposes, we’ve put together a Bing SEO Tips page.
While Google search results are still the most important, this new Yahoo and Microsoft/Bing partnership is definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Hopefully this will mean viable competition to Google.
As advertisers we like adcenter for the great conversion rates of Bing’s traffic.. With Yahoo though we are forced to buy clicks from junk partners that send nothing but fake clicks.. It’s a daily job to monitor all the new bad-domains to block.. And you have to PAY for all that.. :P
With the current merge of Yahoo and Bing let’s hope the new “team” will do it RIGHT by giving the advertisers the choice to pay only for real yahoo/bing searches.. just like Adwords and adcenter allow (for now?).
Just my 2 cents
Cheers!
