Yahoo Choose Google Over Microsoft Deal

Yahoo rejected Microsoft's proposal that called for restructuring of the Yahoo Search engines.

All those of you who thought that Yahoo and Microsoft story was dead, wake up! The past two days have been quite an uproar in the Yahoo and Microsoft office. The second largest search engine Yahoo, once again rejected the joint deal of Microsoft and investor Carl Icahn. This deal entailed Yahoo to restructure it's search engines business to Microsoft. The internet marketing company, who has been valiantly fighting the Microsoft deal for months now, has finally told it's suitor to bid to buy the whole of Yahoo.

If news is to be believed, it is said that Yahoo was given less than 24 hours to decide on the proposal. Well, this oulds more like a do or die situation. Wonder what was so critical at Yahoo that Microsoft had the upper hand of offering just a couple of hours to the leading internet marketing company.

Yahoo is said to have rejected the offer considering the on going Google deal more lucrative and less risky than handing over their search processes to Microsoft.

While, Yahoo is notready to hand over its most advantageous search business to Microsoft because of loss to it's stake holders, shall we take it, that the search engine will be ready to deal with Google if ever it stretched it's hand for friendship? After all, Yahoo agrees that business with Google is more lucrative than Microsoft. So what's up next Mr. Yahoo Yang.

Every web master wishes to see their website ranking in the search engine in just a couple of days.

For Appealing and Better Branding - Opt Flash Website Designing

While website designing, use Flash animation software to make the site looking more vivid, interactive, colorful and effective branding effects.

It is initially the designing aspect of a website that make viewers crawl to the site. Therefore, appeal of a creatively and brightly designed website with some movements hardly fail to allure users to it. In the present day, mentioning of movements reminds us of flash website designing. Its flawless and movie-like animation effects grab attention like a magnet. In attracting and retaining visitors, Flash web designing is a perfect solution and acts as an 'eye candy'.

Google 'Skip (s) Intro' In Its Search Engine Result Pages

Google, the biggest search engine marketing brand, has introduced a new Skip Intro in its search result pages.

The search engine marketing giant has always been working towards making the search experience more refined and simple for its users. Recently a new addition was made on the same grounds. The search engine result pages were seen to contain a new 'Skip Intro' button along with the search results. This button will help users to land on the index page directly ignoring the flash intro that few sites contain.

This seems like a good move if seen from the user end, but if the website designers were to be considered, they are actually a danger to their creation. I am sure web designers across the web were not very thrilled to see this button, since, their hard work and creativity that they include in these intros are now being ignored by the search engines. There web development strategy will have to re-mould itself once again.

Does this mean that Google does not prefer flash AT ALL! Though this seems like a good move on usability perspective, it is actually a taboo on branding. People into online advertising and branding, will now have to look for other ways in which they can work upon the branding of their website.

Very website you wish to visit will be available within a small package like module which to which, you can subscribe monthly. The news also indicates that all small and medium sized websites will soon merge into the bigger ones, who will then transform into the few leaders, who shall be providing all required facilities to the visitors.

As a matter of fact all major internet providers have already begun making arrangements and agreements in order to switch to the mode by 2012. not knowing the real intention why this step has been taken, and what good is it going to do to the industry, we can only suggest that the internet is indeed an essential platform for everyone today, and losing its freedom, will make it extremely unreachable and irrational for the rest of the world to connect to their favourite mode of interaction.

This piece of news is said to be confidential and in extreme hush-hush mode until now, but coming to know of their intentions now, it would be good if we already push ourselves into action and prevent any such thing from happening.
