How did they do it? Well just look at their revenue numbers and you will see a massive percentage comes from the Adwords & Adsense products. Now Microsoft is trying to get into the online advertising game but can they hope to compete without acquiring Yahoo and their volume? I think Microsoft will make a move at Yahoo and its going to happen in 2007. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. The search algorithm%u2026 duh%u2026 Microsoft%u2019s horrid search algo is by far the single biggest problem that Microsoft has right now. The problem is that when there are no users using the search engine then there are a ton of ads that never are shown. If Microsoft were to acquire Yahoos search algorithm this would be a GIANT step in getting users back. 2. Overture Yahoo Search Marketing. Microsoft used to broker every thing through the company formally known as Overture for showing ads on msn.com search. They are now trying their own company but its chugging along at a very slow pace. Most advertisers like Microsofts Adcenter but agree there is just not enough volume from its search engine (see #1). 3. Yahoo Publisher Network - YPN IMO is the best contextual advertising network there is.

If a person is a) not learned enough to distinguish proper usage of the words "their" and "there" and is b) not smart enough to find a person to proofread for them, then I have to question their judgment. Snippy of me? Probably.
