Google, Yahoo disclosed terms of ad pact

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Barry found this reported at Reuters, Google and Yahoo!! have disclosed parts of their ad pact. The details, which were filed with SEC, “take the unusual step of disclosing the contract governing the partnership, but leave out any financial terms, such as the revenue split on their deal.”

The article states that a number of people are upset by the possible partnership, especially since this will give the Google empire control of 90% of the search market. However, the article later states that Google and Yahoo wants to emphasize that this is a non-exclusive agreement “in which Yahoo is effectively contracting with Google to sell ads alongside a portion of its search results.” This positions Yahoo to focus on its stronger suits.

Yahoo!! To Give Users Option About Choosing Custom Ads

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Yahoo!! Will be allowing its users to customize advertising on its website by the end of August, providing its users with the ability to control their privacy online following a congressional probe into potential privacy problems stemming from companies that tailor Internet advertising to consumers’ Web surfing.

Web sites like Yahoo and Google track users’ searches on their own Web sites to produce relevant ads. More recently, some cable Internet providers have experimented with a Web advertising service that tracks people’s activity on multiple Web sites. That service was the subject of a recent committee hearing.

Yahoo’s new opt-out capability will be available by the end of August and expands the company’s existing opt-out program for customized advertising on third-party networks.
