Have decided to join forces and form a partnership in Internet search and advertising that primarily aims to take on market leader Googles search engine dominance.The merger will include Yahoo! selling pay-per-click advertising on both Microsoft and Yahoo! websites which they hope will increase revenues as there will no longer be competition between each other. But Yahoo! will keep 88 percent of the revenue. The merger will add to Yahoo!s earnings of around $275 million extra a year plus. There will be a substantial drop in its investment in technology development and this merger will last for 10 years.Why did Microsoft acquire Yahoo!? The answer is online advertising. This merger means more competition to the online advertising and search engine market. Microsoft is hoping that a long-term merger with Yahoo! will give it the size and understanding it needs to attract more users, advertisers and ultimately more revenue.Even though the Microsoft-Yahoo! merger has increased their market share to a total of 28 percent in the Unites States alone, Google still holds the majority of it by having 65 percent of the market share, and it will be a tough fight for Microsoft-Yahoo! to try and persuade Google users away from their favorite search engine.When it comes to improving its search advertising system, Google has the upper hand on both Microsoft and Yahoo! based on what works and what does not. Google takes not of numerous factors to find out how likely it is for a user to click on an advertisement. Secondly, most users love Google as it is just a plain search engine. What they want is a search engine that is easy to use, find and remember, and at the same time accurate in its results when they type in their searches.However, Microsofts new search engine Bing has started to grab market share and with the merger of Microsoft and Yahoo!, this will effectively replace Yahoo!s search engine on the Yahoo! website. The advantage of using Bind is the fact that it allows users to purchase goods and discover credible health date easily. Although some analysts say that this is less likely to attract fans of Googles search engine, it may attract those who use Yahoo!s search engine. On the other hand, Yahoo!s strengths can be seen through its bigger market share which directly means that it has more relationships with advertisers than Microsoft does. Though Yahoo! investors might be disappointed with the merger, the cost of trying to catch up with Google and Microsoft would be substantial and it would not stand a chance in the Microsoft-Google war.51.
