Yahoo! and bing Joint Venture: Comments from an Atlanta Web Design Professional

By now I’m sure you have heard about the Yahoo! bing joint venture. I actually predicted this over three years ago. After 18 years in the Internet business one gets very good at predicting things. As an Atlanta SEO professional this will have a direct imapact on my business. It will no doubt have a big impact on many businesses.

You know the old saying, the more things change the more they stay the same. What I mean is you could see this coming because in 2000 to 2003 Google outpaced Yahoo and at the same time ended it’s joint venture deal with MSN Search.

It’s the same dance with different partners! Or should I say swapped partners? Yes, swapped partners, sounds like a country ho down doesn’t it? Well anyway at least they gave sample warning. The site says they’ll try and be all cozy by the end of the year in time for the season, but maybe in 2011 if they feel better about that.

That stuff they say is for shareholders and to keep people from getting into a panic and cancelling their accounts. Of course that didn’t bother Google in 2003. When they knew they were leading the other two they just went for it.

That makes me see a big difference between Google and the other two. Google has no fear, they really don’t compare. From the way the organizations are run to the end product, Google has them all on the run.

Let me know what you think about the Yahoo! bing jv.

I have a person who recently is asking for me to help them with their website. They have a Squarespace hosted website. I read Suzi’s blog post on this and I couldn’t agree more.

In fact, I’ll take it one step further and say that I wouldn’t be able to help someone on this platform. Really, the things that make it easier for a novice get in my way and make it harder for me to do the voodoo I do!

I have come to the conclusion that the social media fad is here to stay in one form or another. That is to say the general idea of social media is here to stay even though the sites, names and means may and probably will continue to change and evolve. Nevertheless, as far as Atlanta seo goes, the old methods of optimization and linking are no longer enough to compete online. You must also blog and interact with your audience through as many of the popular and relevant social media sites as you are able. Recent studies suggest that brands who engaged with customers more through social media performed better financially. However, there is a lot of skepticism about the accuracy of this information, but here’s some more insight into all this social media stuff.
