How Google Shoved Yahoo! Aside in Search Marketing by Perry Marshall

Unless you've been hiding in a cave, you know that Microsoft now intends to acquire Yahoo so together they can make up the ground they've lost against Google.Let me be very clear that even though my books, coaching programs, etc. are about Google AdWords, nobody would be happier than me for the world to have a really good alternative to Google AdWords for buying clicks. I'm ALL for competition. I would LOVE for Yahoo Search Marketing to be a formidable opponent to Google. (It's useful, but I sure wouldn't pretend it's formidable at this point.) I would LOVE for MSN AdCenter to be super-cool and powerful, but... alas, it's not. It's anemic. And I'm being kind.Yes, I would love for Microsoft and Yahoo together to be able to kick Google's butt. Nothing is better for you and me than serious competition for our ad dollars.

Unfortunately.... In My Humble Opinion, expecting Microsoft and Yahoo to be better than Google by getting together is like pairing up two people each with an IQ of 75 and putting them in a spelling bee and hoping that together they're a 150 genius.NOT. They'll just argue with each other about how to mis-spell everything.For the record, I do hope I'm wrong.

So anyway... how did Google beat Yahoo at its own game? After all, Overture (the former company that was acquired by Yahoo) had a 3-4 year start on Google. At one time they were king. Now they're scrambling to hang onto a distant 2nd place.Ken McCarthy and I talk about that very question on this MP3. I describe what it was that pulled Google into the lead, and more importantly, how YOU use exactly the same principles to dominate in YOUR market:http://perrymarshall.com/google/kenthanks.htm



No registration is necessary, and I think you'll find this 60 minute interview to be informative to say the least.Enjoy.Perry Marshall
