Microsoft + Yahoo = Pain For Publishers?


There has been many talk about Microsoft acquiring yahoo. It’s weird that this starts to unfold right as i’m getting ready to expend my advertising budget towards Yahoo and MSN. I think right now it might be wise to wait and find out what will happen in the near future. Personally a merger would not beneficiate me. I may be wrong but having more advertising networks to work with can only mean more traffic for me. However i’m not sure what will be of the merger of Microsoft and Yahoo if it does happen. They might devise a way to get more targeted traffic than google? hopefully cheaper? who knows…
 I think that now the merger of Yahoo and Microsoft might actually be bad for affiliates.

To further reinforce my opinion here’s an article that i stumbled on today. It discusses implications on the many affiliates running ad units for the Yahoo! Publisher Network and Microsoft Content Ads.

    "One aspect of the possible blockbuster deal that has not been adequately examined is the impact on web publishers, in particular the medium and long tail publishers who are almost wholly reliant on ad networks to monetize their ad inventory."

My Mass Control List


As you are well aware Frank Kern totally got us with his promotion. I had no idea who they guy was at the time he came in out of no where with a force. He got our attention, our interest. I must say myself that he got me a little excited after i heard all the testimonials. The potential of his training course is great. I can’t begin to imagine what i would have been able to do if i were able to acquire his course. Alas the price was way out of my range hell it’s almost half the cost of my college tuition. That reminds me i need to make a payment ughh… what a pain in the ass ( i would appreciate donations from my readers :-)).

He came in the IM world with a crazy promotion and wowed us. I wonder if he’ll disappear again. I can’t really comment about the course since i haven’t seen it but i’m sure it’s a good deal. this post is going to be a bookmark for me. I can always come back to this blog and find this post. I also want you to be able to get the information i’m about to provide below.
