So What Does the Microsoft-Yahoo Deal Mean to the SEO World?
Microsoft and Yahoo just announced a 10 year pact for Microsoft to provide search results to Yahoo through their new being the search engine. This deal, while likely good for both parties, still does not close the gap enough to make Google sweat profusely.
The two have been doing a dance for roughly a year and a half, and just when it seemed like Yahoo was ready to get further into bed with Google, this deal finally gets sealed. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will pay Yahoo 88% of the revenue generated on Yahoo's sites, but they will not pay Yahoo any upfront money which is good for Microsoft as it attempts to close the gap on search market behemoth Google. Combining the two would give Microsoft's new Bing search engine roughly 30% of the search market which is a little over three times what it currently generates.
