Yahoo and Ebay to Merge - an Ad Agency Heaven
June 22, 2007
Rumours afoot of discussions between Yahoo and Ebay merging to fight Google. Hat tip to Threadwatch.Org for pointing this out.
This could be or not be true yet, as of press time it’s still a industry rumour , however it’s a pretty big rumour.. along the lines of screaming and yelling. A Yahoo / Ebay merger would deliver both the traffic and the financial backing to ‘fight Google’ however it still doesn’t even come close to winning over Google’s core business, search.
Google is the Gatekeeper to the internet. So putting these companies together would increase their cash flow and their traffic, but still lacks in the technology. This is the one of the main stumbling blocks that these companies must develop to better compete.
This puts Google still at an extreme advantage.
Some Ad Agency please tell Yahoo that people that are searching don’t want to see Brittany Spears before they do their search.
