Here’s our top 10 reasons why we like the recently announced Yahoo-Microsoft search partnership:

 

10. Gives health care reform and the beer summit some competition for attention in the media.

9. Provides a much needed new word for the Urban Dictionary (MicroHOO!).

8. Matt Cutts was running out of video topics.

7. All sites previously optimized for Yahoo and Bing now need to be optimized for MicroHOO!

6. There hasn’t been a decent anti-trust battle in years.

5. Anticipation of seeing ‘Powered by Bing’ on Yahoo search site.

4. We shorted Yahoo stock big time.

3. Provides leg up for Carol Bartz-lead hostile takeover of Microsoft.

2. Slows the torrential outpouring of ”innovation” coming from Yahoo.

 

And the #1 reason we like the Microsoft Yahoo deal:

1. Virtually ensures Bill Gates’ active return to MS to save the day when whole thing falls apart.

We suppose we shouldn’t complain too much when we’re too busy with actual work to post to our blog. That’s been the case with us recently.

One of the more notable search developments of late is Microsoft’s launch of their ‘new and improved’ search engine bing.com. Initial reviews are favorable and it looks like they’ve bumped up a few points in market share out of the gate.

The video’s fun. Anything from Microsoft that doesn’t mention Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer automatically gets extra points in our book.

Conventional wisdom for some might suggest cutting back on marketing during challenging economic times. We take a different view.
 
When competitors may be having second thoughts about actively going after new business … what better time to put space between you and them? While marketing investments should always be made prudently, we recommend careful consideration on marketing investments, especially during tough economic times. Those who maintain their ‘marketing composure’ during slower periods stand to emerge stronger than ever once economic cycles turn upward again (and they always have). Competitors who may cut back will then be playing catch up. Marketing effectiveness is cumulative.
 
Since internet search engine marketing targets those who are actively seeking information about your product(s) and company … at the precise time they want it … in today’s ‘flat world’ economy it remains a great value, and an excellent long term investment.

Affinity Track announces standard lineup of search engine marketing services for 2008 including both organic and paid search programs and strategies

 

Denver, Colorado, June 6, 2008 – Search engine marketing company Affinity Track today announced its continued service offerings for 2008 including:

1) keyword research
2) website design
3) keyword-rich news releases
4) landing page creation
5) business blogs
6) pay-per-click advertising management
7) e-commerce solutions

For many local businesses the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN have become the ‘new yellow pages’. For them it’s vitally important to be seen. For organizations with national and international reach, if they’re not recognized in the major search engines in connection with strategically important keywords and phrases, they effectively don’t exist, i.e., won’t be discovered, by the millions of daily search engine users.

For additional information please contact Affinity Track Internet Promotion at 303.404.8699 or info@affinitytrack.com, or consult the company’s website at www.affinitytrack.com.
