Thanks for all of the links and info. This post had to take you a bit of time. Just wanted to say that I appreciate the hard work I know it took to do this post.

Yeah Andy that is pretty funny. I was in Canada during the Super Bowl and so our ads were different... But I did go over to Yahoo and I to watch their "best of super bowl ads" video page that they put together.

I didn't see that one, dang I wish I was home... I was so looking forward to them. lol

Very interesting topic. I made a comment about this recently on one of your other post.

It's interesting to see Google creeping up on Yahoo here, but not surprising.

Yahoo doesn't really talk about their display ads platform (banners) to the world as much...it's not as "popular" per say.

Meaning if you search the net for ways to advertise it's rare that you see some marketer mention heading over the Yahoo to test display ads, but you do here people talking about PPC and going over to Google to use Adwords.

Yahoo should take some notes from Google and start making their display platform easy to use, and quick to start showing ads, like Google does with their Adwords program. They should also start a "buzz" campaign and direct response campaign that gets marketers talking about the Yahoo advertising (display) network.

People don't know enough... Yes they have big advertisers, but only online marketers I hear really talking about using them are the Garcias. But they talk about using big ad budgets, $10,000+

Yahoo is now seeing Facebook grab some of this market and Myspace (well kindof). They need to get people talking, they need to make it easy and fast, and they need to make it available to the normal mom & pops marketers like Google does. This gets people involved and spending money and then more once they try it.

They could start giving out free coupons and stuff for people who want to test it out.

Let the world know that they are doing 7.1 Billion dollars here and that they are the best at what they do in this arena before they lose out to Google and Facebook. They should also get more reach. Google has been well known for increasing their reach, which is why their Adwords platform is All That. lol

Anyway, this comment is pretty long.

Thanks for the great post Jordan and Have a great day Andy.

Dang, that hurts. I was wondering why he was on the news the other day apologizing to the world and athletic association. I wonder how much they paid for that pickture. lol. That's alright Michael. You ARE still the man in my book.

Funny. I saw this post referenced by Matt Cutts and thought I'd check it out. Heck yeah I'd be mad and would tell the world. Accidentally creating dup content eh? Yeah right. LOL

I love technology. It's so fascinating. Especially video and movies.

Great post Peter. Right on point. Linking and natural linking is KEY to search engine rankings. Thanks for shedding the light on this for so many bloggers.

But of course. If they really want to become a major player against Google like they say they do they will have to acquire Yahoo Search...

That's awesome. I would expect though that search would hold it's own. When money is tight you have to go with what you know works, and with search you get to put yourself in front of prospects that are looking for your product right then.

I still think that the Yahoo and MSN deal is a good one. I like both of them. And some of the services that MSN offers like adlab.msn.com would be even better.

Yeah, this platform just never really got me that excited. I don't know why. But good for them that they're the best at their one trick. lol. And it's the reason why they're Google today. That's not so bad. They do have different versions of their trick though...video, text, banner, search, site targeted... ; )

I love it. I think more companies and almost all publicly traded companies should go to a performanced based salary. Get the job done get paid. I mean your not gonna starve on a $1 million salary, so she'll be alright. But the upside is awesome.

Maybe Yahoo will set the trend for this new type of CEO salary offerings. Especially in a economy like this one.

Great post Andy. lol. Dang it hurts to get caught ; ) How did he not think he was going to get discovered? ummm

We know this is going to effect Google big, but I wonder how much more will it hurt them than Yahoo,... because Yahoo makes a lot of money through other forms of advertising such as media buys (banners) and such. Although online advertising spending is down too.

Really cool post. Great video. Really PHENOMENAL! I loved it. Thanks for that. It really kindof concerned me though. Gave me a quick reminder that I need to be sure and provide the best product or service that I can.

Very interesting. I think it's cool, but... Glad this is still in "beta", lol.

This will definitely make SEO harder. But it's the same stuff we've been saying, you need good content. Give your readers a reason why they would want to say good things about you and come back. Also means that diversifying traffic sources will be important.

I wonder if someone is going to create a pop-out, fold out, or projection screen mobile device so that I can watch TV on a big screen, but from my PDA....lol ; )

lol...lol...You just had a post the other month about someone getting fired from a Facebook page or something. I think they were making fun of Clinton or something if I remember correctly.

I think that this is so cool that you do this. I see some other bloggers following in your footsteps on this one too.

This is an interesting post Andy. I actually have never thought about this before. And with all the "Green" talk going on, I am surprised to not see this talked about more. Maybe you'll spark a revolution, lol. Maybe the search engines should go green.

I love technology. That's crazy cool. Internet Death Match like the match between Google and Yahoo... lol. Anyway, this will be cool to "Watch" : )

Kenney and Kim's last blog post..Hello world!

Interesting. I have liked the idea of Internet TV for sometime now. Not that I watch a lot of TV at all really, but there are 2 shows I really like, and occasionally it's nice to pass the time. As we start seeing more of this, we will start to see more discussions on net neutrality too. How's Hulu doing?

Google and Yahoo both provide great search. I think the normal searcher can "learn" to search better. I search Google for searches related to business, but Yahoo for most everything else, and my wife loves Yahoo. I saw that Google has over 70% of search, How is that possible when Yahoo has the #1 Alexa ranking? I mean they just had a new commercial about them getting more traffic than Google...or something like that.

True. Google and Yahoo both do that for very competitive terms. I don't see that as much non-competitive terms, but the ones that make them money, they do.

Congrats to Carol. That's so funny because I was just about to go and Google her...lol.

Interesting find... untargeted ads. This is obviously super important and easy to fix. Hopefully they are monitoring alerts so they'll get this post and stop loss ; ) I don't know how that will go selling to Google though considering they were going to get sued for becoming a monopoly earlier this year when trying to work a deal with Yahoo. I mean they are really being watched. So much exciting drama online, can't wait to see what happens...lol
