Yahoo and Google Notes: 1/20/07

Some interesting happenings from our two favorite portals/ad networks.

Yahoo

  • Google advertisers' statistics are being skewed because Yahoo! searches seem to be indexing AdWords keywords and such.
  • Yahoo's Finance section got a major revamp, the motivation for which was at least partly fueled by the desire for some of that personal finance advertising money.
  • Yahoo! is having some amount of success in pulling in new members to its partnership with hundreds of newspapers.
Google
  • Google hates bloggers because they changed the AdSense rules to disallow other contextual ad networks on sites.
  • Google hates bloggers because they now don't allow other ads that visually resemble AdSense blocks.
  • Nevermind. No, you can't put up ads that look like AdSense ads but they're not really blocking you from participating in other contextual networks.
