AOL, Murdoch enter Yahoo battle

Yahoo (YHOO, news, msgs) isn't going down without a fight.

The Internet company is still talking to Time Warner's (TWX, news, msgs) AOL about joining its Internet operations, The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday, in an effort to prevent a possible takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft (MSFT, news, msgs).

Terms of deal would have Time Warner providing a cash investment to Yahoo, and would merge AOL into Yahoo, while in exchange Time Warner would receive a 20% stake in a combined AOL-Yahoo company, the paper reported.

Shares of Yahoo rose 81 cents, or 2.9%, to $28.58 in midday trading, and Microsoft shares added 38 cents, or 1.3%, to $29.27.

The deal with Yahoo would value AOL at roughly $10 billion, the report said. It would not include AOL's dial-up business. The deal was nowhere close to done, a source told the paper. There's still "a lot of work to do," a person close to the situation told the Journal.

Time Warner has been struggling with the burden of AOL since the two companies merged in 2000, just in time for the collapse of the initial internet boom.

The Journal's report comes just days after Microsoft gave Yahoo a three-week deadline to accept Microsoft's $31-per-share offer.

Microsoft announced the deadline in an open letter to the Yahoo board on Saturday; Yahoo responded on Sunday, saying it isn't unalterably opposed to a deal, but believes the offer is too low. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)

Another trick up Yahoo's sleeve
Meanwhile, Yahoo late Wednesday said it will test rival Google's (GOOG, news, msgs) Web search advertising on its site. Yahoo said the test of Google's AdSense service will last up to two weeks and will involve no more than 3% of its search queries.

Microsoft was quick to respond to the deal, calling it anticompetitive.

"Any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google's hands. This would make the market far less competitive, in sharp contrast to our own proposal to acquire Yahoo," Microsoft said in a press release. "We will assess closely all of our options. Our proposal remains the only alternative put forward that offers Yahoo! shareholders full and fair value for their shares."

The news about cooperation between Yahoo and Google drew notice in the nation's capital, as well.

"We will be following closely the results of the short-term test alliance between Yahoo and Google," said Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights, in a statement issued shortly after Yahoo's announcement.

Reaction to the battle
A major Yahoo shareholder was not pleased with Microsoft's threat over the weekend.

Legg Mason portfolio manager Bill Miller told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday that Microsoft CEO's deadline was "counterproductive."

"If Microsoft raises the offer, the pressure shifts very quickly to Yahoo to negotiate," Miller told the paper. "To me, bumping the number up a buck, that would have a big impact psychologically on shareholders."

Miller also told the paper that he was uncertain that Yahoo would be able to find a better alternative for its shareholders. As of December 31, 2007, Legg Mason had about a 7% stake in Yahoo.

Analysts had a lot to say about the back-and-forth between Microsoft and Yahoo as well.

"Yahoo has made a really clever move here. It looked like Microsoft had all the cards, Yahoo is at least now able to use this for leverage to get Microsoft to pay more," Cowen and Co. analyst Jim Friedland told Reuters.

Popularity Of web Design Blog

Recently, researchers have analyzed the dynamics of how blogs become popular. There are essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through affiliation (i.e. blogroll). The basic conclusion from studies of the structure of blogs is that while it takes time for a blog to become popular through blogrolls, permalinks can boost popularity more quickly, and are perhaps more indicative of popularity and authority than blogrolls, since they denote that people are actually reading the blog's content and deem it valuable or noteworthy in specific cases.
The blogdex project was launched by researchers in the MIT Media Lab to crawl the Web and gather data from thousands of blogs in order to investigate their social properties. It gathered this information for over 4 years, and autonomously tracked the most contagious information spreading in the blog community, ranking it by recency and popularity. It can thus be considered the first instantiation of a memetracker. The project is no longer active, but a similar function is now served by tailrank.com.
Blogs are also given rankings by Technorati based on the amount of incoming links and Alexa Internet based on the web hits of Alexa Toolbar users. In August 2006, Technorati listed the most linked-to blog as that of Chinese actress Xu Jinglei and the most-read blog as group-written Boing Boing. Gartner forecasts that blogging will peak in 2007, leveling off when the number of writers who maintain a personal website reaches 100 million. Gartner analysts expect that the novelty value of the medium will wear off as most people who are interested in the phenomenon have checked it out, and new bloggers will offset the number of writers who abandon their creation out of boredom.
The firm estimates that there are more than 200 million former bloggers who have ceased posting to their online diaries, creating an exponential rise in the amount of "dotsam" and "netsam" — that is to say, unwanted objects on the Web. It was reported by Chinese media Xinhua that the blog of Xu Jinglei received more than 50 million page views, claiming to be the most popular blog in the world. In mid-2006, it also had the most incoming links of any blogs on the Internet.

Google. Link Popularity Algorithm Updates

Recent Google PR update brought many discussions regarding Page Rank’s and back link indexation algorithms’ alternations. The most striking piece of news would certainly hit link sellers and buyers since the search engine giant edited and adjusted the Page Rank of some websites with the help of its webmasters. Link purchase is the fastest way to acquire strong back links and achieve top SERPs. Even though it has little to do with actual website popularity, traffic volume and rankings, many webmasters still care about their PR and PR of the websites where their link may appear. Some of the changes are believed to be the following:

1. Human edited PR is now only applicable for well-known resources that can considerably influence any website SERP. Some websites witnessed their sites PR went down from 9 to 7, 7 to 5, 5 to 3. This is a clear message from Google that no link sharp practice will be tolerated.

2. Another Google algorithm change regards the relevancy of an outbound link towards the page, site overall content. In other words – if you want a worthy high PR link – go with the major players in your sector (in other words, competitors).

3. Your link position. Google is working more and more on weighing your link in dependency to its position on the page and in regards to other links. Should the letter be grouped, united in categories (particularly titled “Sponsored” or “Link Section”) – this will cause link purchase suspicion.

These are only the major open to public changes that are discussed at the webmaster forums, some other algorithm alternations are becoming the property of a narrow circle of seo specialists. What is obvious is that today’s website promotion involves more and more human-edited work on personalizing your website and making its content organically constrained, demonstrating for another time that visitor-friendly website is welcomed by search engines as well.

Search Engine Ranking Algorithms Overview

Today, I want to tell you a bit about search engine ranking algorithms’ history and what we should probably expect in the future. Hopefully, this article will help you to optimize your site in advance and secure its visibility in the near and distant future. Let’s start with the aims and problems search engines have been facing.
Before Internet became available and accessible to the major part of the world there was a comparatively small number of personal and business websites, low keyword competition and even a smaller number of websites with well-done on-site optimization. At that time the webmaster could specify Meta keywords, Meta Title and URL structure to rank well for his keywords. As the number of such webmasters increased there would appear 2 or more similar websites with the same keywords and the approximately the same content. Thus a need for new grounds to assess why this or that site is better was needed. This ground was no more bound to sites’ Meta information nor to sites’ content, but rather to its off-site popularity.
Webmasters started to gather links to their websites from any accessible source. As well as doing link exchange with the webmasters of other sites, which is effective but obviously not allowed method of website promotion. In this way some part of sites’ owners was eliminated from top SERPs on the basis of poor off-site popularity. At this point websites ranking would directly depend on how much time a webmaster spends on his creation – that was a perfect way to get rid of spammy sites that came into existence as the popularity of Internet as marketing means grew stronger. When primary off-site optimization would go without saying, search engines needed to go further… Thus the number of filters that is incredibly long at the moment and is giving headache for so many webmaster started to grow steadily.
Your forum, social bookmarking and non-relevant links are devaluated, you can not have too many links at one time popping up, you can not have the same keyword in the anchor of the title to your site, you can not have the same description in the anchor of the link to your site, your link must be at a perfect position at a specific page to give you the maximum SEO juice and you need to run marathon negotiations to get a webmaster of another site place it there… and so on and so forth. That involved even more human time, but what is saddest – started to involve money as well! Pursuit for links set in motion whole networks of spammy yet effective in terms of SEO directories. One could get hundreds of listings for a certain price. Fortunately, they would be filtered as well but still participate in SERPs generation leaving lots of homework for guys who did the optimization without any money involved. But today links seems to come to their capacity limit as means of SERP calculation and what is going to be the next step is а mere surmise…
Link popularity supremacy webmasters have been talking so much about will hopefully come to its decline. And the most sensible step would be to gather extra usage statistics and generate SERPs on the basis of websites’ user-friendliness. Not all webmasters have Google or another analytics script but their number is growing steadily. This script allows to determine how many pages have been viewed by the visitor, how much time was spend on this or that page, determine the bounce rate and ultimately indirectly collect information about how friendly a website is towards this or that keyword – the conclusion based on the visitor behavior. But at the moment there is no statistics counter that would be applicable to all the search engines nor does it seem possible, because such a tactical alliance between all the search engines seem unfeasible while “open-source” access mode to the statistics would not gladden webmasters now vulnerable to statistics leakage. On the other hand a particular search engine will never allow priority of one site over another on the basis of their stats counter presence. Sensible as it is, this method of ranking position calculation leaves much to be done technically but looks a logic step to be made by search engines in the battle for relevant search results and attempt to deliver most user-friendly resources for an Internet user.

Battle field is ready : Yahoo’s Flickr amalgamate into online video

Soon , Yahoo will start broadcasting home-made videos on its online photo sharing portal, Flickr.
“This was a long- anticipitated move to allure the people from Internet’s predominant video channel, Google’s, YouTube. I think Yahoo has taken too long to feel the tides of ocean, but still if the offering has something extraordinary, then who knows we will see a famous battle on the tides of internet, which may ouster a reigning “czar”–(Youtube).” said Mr Jitender Saini, Silex Solutions.
Yahoo has already lost the battleground for the lucrative online search market, which immensively caused its profits and stock price to melt down during last two years. This unending streak of dry spell triggered a boisterous takeover attempt by Microsoft, for more than forty billion dollars.
But unlike internet search , online video streaming hasn’t spiked in to a big money spinning mechanism yet.
” Yahoo is expecting that online video streaming will turn into a marketing magnet that will attract advertisers who are shifting from television, in order to reach out to the consumers who are watching more entertainment and news on internet.” further added Mr Jitender Saini, Silex Solutions.
“The question is still v rooming around that ” Can Yahoo Flicker’s online video’s ,catch up to the popularity of Youtube.com?”. For an answer to this question, first of all we have to wait for the launch of Flickr Video’s, and then let us see how its thrives against Youtube in its first quarter. I am very excited and have my fingers crossed as only the time will fortell the future of this bubbling enmity between - Youtube and Flickr Videos.” said Sandeep, Silex Solutions.
