Google ad deal - Yahoo!

When it seemed that after the rejection of the bid from Microsoft to Yahoo! things could return to a normal situation, a new movement has convulsed again this tranquility, and is that Yahoo appears to be a very tempting candy.

Although this time it is not Microsoft, who have already had enough, But we are talking about another online giant: Google .

And is that Google has reached an advertising agreement with Yahoo! for Google to sell advertising on Yahoo! searches by placing Adsense on those searches.

This agreement, Yahoo! will allow an opportunity to generate annual sales of up to $ 800 million, has an initial duration of 4 years renewable every 3 years, and show only the results advertising Google on searches for Yahoo! in the U.S. and in Canada.

But what really is this agreement?, Because without going deeply into details, is many things, and some not so good.

1. I hope that Yahoo! have very clear they want to pursue the strategy, because although it appears that the agreement is not very axfisiante, Yahoo! and leaves some leeway when it comes to when and how much advertising display, virtually cedes to Google your piece of the pie on advertising online, because how you manage to advertising with Yahoo!, being able to do with Google?. Nosé why, but I feel that these have been able to Yahoo! over their hatred of Microsoft (even when properly assess the takeover bid), that the benefits of the agreement.
2. Of course, Google is the ultimate beneficiary of this agreement, because as Peter Grifin say in Family Guy, this according to Microsoft is like a "Zas!, Across the mouth"
3. If the Microsoft takeover of Yahoo, many said that in the online advertising pie and only have two competitors, Google and "Microhoo" (to give a name to the resulting company), this movement is Not an almost monopolistic online advertising market?, Microsoft thinks so, and therefore has already complained . Curious that the "king" of monopoly monopoly complain, hehe.

But like Google are not stupid, and know the punch that they have, then have rushed to defend the agreement , noting among other things, that the agreement:

• This is not a merger. But only seeks to facilitate access your Yahoo! advertising technology through AdSense.
• It does not eliminate a competitor. This means that Yahoo! will continue to participate in the online advertising business, and that despite the agreement, yahoo! You can use Google's technology as you want, whether much or little.
• Yahoo! does not prevent to reach similar agreements with other companies
• Does not increase the share of Google's search
• Will not increase by Google, the price to advertisers, although this is less clear

Thus, we see that the future offers us on the status of online advertising following the agreement and the trio of companies Google-Yahoo!-Microsoft.

Google Logos

Have long wanted to have written about something that I really like Google, and that may seem a mere detail, it's funny and I like: Your logo.

And, as I suppose ye shall have laid down, the logo of Google is not always the same, but that is dynamic, and often, is amended to refer to different events.

Google usually modify your logo on any significant event occurs, or is the celebration of some event in the development of humanity, or some other circumstance worthy of mention. Obviously, over the years there have been many logos , some true works of art and would be almost impossible to cover everyone, so the reason for this post, is to review those that have come out recently and I personally liked to see that you look and whether or not coincidís me in its beauty, .

Indeed, as curious, to say that these logos are designed by the Korean artist Dennis Hwang since back in July 14, 2000 conduct the Memorial logo Bastille Day

And without further ado, let's see the logos that recently caught my attention most of the celebrations or events that Google considered it appropriate to review:

One of the world's most expensive buttons

Recently it has released a fact, which may never have noticed, and he personally called me tremendously attention.

This is the little-known cost of the home page button for Google :

"I'm Feeling Lucky" or "I'm feeling lucky"

And according to the American Public Media's Marketplace this button, it is Google, a cost of 110 million dollars per year, a negligible figure, more so when a button that although almost everyone knows of its existence, is only used for 1% of Google users. or what is the same, only 1% of Google searches are performed by that button.

Where does that cost?. Those millions of $ that Google stop sign coming from the actual operation of that button, because if you have not ever used, what does that button is that when doing a Google search if you press the button "I'm Feeling Lucky" takes you directly to the page that ranks first in the ranking on the search results on Google, which is no longer displayed conceptual advertising that appears in the results page using a search normal, and therefore the possibility of Google to get the advertising revenue.

So the question that can have one now, is: Why keep that button?. Certainly in the beginning, the cost of keeping might not be very high, but considering that in recent years Google has increased significantly its advertising revenue, it is increasingly more costly to keep that button, when it really does not provide an increase value for the company, tangibly speaking.

To me, the key for that button is there despite the cost that Google is to maintain it, is found in the subjective value and brand image that button brings, even that, a single button.

And is that the button has become a sort of icon of Google because it's there since the appearance of the browser back in 1998, and I, personally, I would rarely see the Google page without the button being the google page and is minimalist in itself. That nothing would happen, because users would notice, but would using the form, totally agree, but for me it would not be the original page of Google.

For if it is difficult to brand image, the harder it is to keep it, and because Google has done it , would be a shame to disappear.

We'll see if Google thinks the same, and continue to see that button much longer, or disappears some day soon, internet betting ................

Google leaves cuts and brings a new company

Now we are in times of Sale, it seems that Google has not wanted to waste no time and added another company to his "collection", and is to be considered the most powerful brand of 2006 should not be by chance.

In this case it is the telecommunications company GrandCentral which according to Google blog among its services are the ability to forward calls from a landline to a mobile joint in one of several numbers, voice mail management, etc., so to see that Google hopes to use this company.

And though the news that Google buys a company is not new and is becoming increasingly common, it would still be troubling, because this type of growth to hit book, it should not go unnoticed, and seems that their "do not be evil" whenever that may be more challenged because of the level of power that is catching Google.

A brief review of the most "known" that Google has bought recently. (Via Digital Abbey , you can see the full list here)

• Picasa: Software to edit, store and display images
• YouTube: Online Video Service: 1650 million
• FeedBurner: RSS feed management: $ 100 million
• DoubleClick: Online Advertising: 3100 million
• Panoramio: geolocation service, allows you to integrate photos in Google Earth and Google Maps: $ 6 million
