Yahoo and Microsoft Amend Their Relationship to Challenge Google (Part 1 of 3) Yahoo and Microsoft amend their search partnership An April 16 press release from Yahoo (YHOO) announced that Yahoo and Microsoft (MSFT) have amended their search relationship. There are two main changes to the partnership. First, Yahoo will now have more flexibility in order to show its own search results and ads, although Microsoft will still provide the majority of desktop search results and ads. Secondly, Microsoft will now take over the responsibility of selling ads on the Bing platform, while Yahoo will continue to sell Gemini ads on its own platform. Let’s talk about the first change. Yahoo originally entered into the partnership with Microsoft so that the company could focus on its core growth areas and media sites, many of which are number-one in their categories. However, this partnership hasn’t produced Yahoo’s desired effect—which is to gain search share from market leader Google (GOOG)(GOOGL). By depending on Microsoft’s technology to provide search results, Yahoo may not given itself a chance to innovate in this market. Yahoo has relied on search partnerships until now According to comScore, Yahoo’s share of the US search market has slightly declined between October 2013 and October 2014, as the chart above shows. Beyond November 2014, Yahoo did gain market share—mainly because of its new partnership with Mozilla, under which Mozilla replaced Google with Yahoo as the default search engine on its Firefox browser in the US. This deal helped Yahoo gain market share and seemed to have affected Google , only for Google to gain market share back in February 2015 . This shows that Yahoo’s gain was only temporary. Yahoo will also be trying to negotiate a deal with Apple (AAPL) to replace Google as its default search engine on Apple’s Safari platform. Google’s partnership with Apple is about to expire in early 2015. However, partnerships can only help so much. Yahoo will probably need to enhance its core search engine to compete with Google. By amending its agreement with Microsoft, Yahoo could be looking to achieve that effect. Investors who want to gain access to the technology sector can consider ETFs like the iShares US Technology ETF (IYW). Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Apple together account for 40% of IYW’s portfolio.

Branded pay-per-click ad campaigns—in which you bid on your own brand keywords—are the cost-effective means of driving sales and leads. For less-than-ethical affiliates, targeting your branded keywords can prove to be a temptation too powerful to resist.If you’ve seen a decline in the impressions, clicks, and conversions of your branded ad campaigns, then you may be the victim of an affiliate ad hijacker.In this article, you’ll learn:What is affiliate hijackingWhat affiliate ad hijacking looks likeWhy affiliate ad hijacking is harmfulHow to tell if affiliates are hijacking your adsHow to stop affiliate ad hijackingWhat is affiliate ad hijacking?Affiliate ad hijacking is also referred to as “affiliate hijacking,” and sometimes as “URL hijacking” or “direct linking”, though the latter is a broad umbrella that encompasses other forms of interference in paid and organic SERPs.Affiliate hijacking occurs when an affiliate designs an ad so that it looks as much as possible like an official brand’s ad, with the intention of misleading online shoppers, using the same display URL as the brand’s, and directing clicks from the ad through an affiliate redirect, and directly to the brand’s website, without first landing on a web page controlled by the affiliate.What does affiliate ad hijacking look like?Deceptive affiliates will create ads which use branded terms in the copy and headlines if they can manage to do so without getting flagged by Google Ads or Microsoft Ads. But otherwise they will duplicate the titles and ad copy of genuine branded ads as much as possible so that the two are difficult to tell apart.Hijacked ads will always feature display URLs which are identical to the ads being duplicated—especially because the display URL is the one part of the ad in which Google Ads and Microsoft Ads allow the use of trademarked terms by advertisers which don’t hold the rights to those trademarks. However, these platforms often fail to prohibit affiliates from prominently featuring brand names in ad headlines and copy.In the above screenshot from a brand violation report generated for a women’s clothing outlet, a search for “[brand].com” has returned the ad shown on the right, which prominently features the brand name in the display URL, headline, and copy.However, the ad has not been placed by the clothing outlet, but instead by an affiliate bidding on “[brand].com.” The ad links to universalurl.com, with a unique tracking link, which redirects directly to the clothing outlet’s homepage.
