The Internet is a major influence in society today with millions of people surfing the web every hour. This is an opportunity that McBride needs to take advantage of to capture the attention of an ever-growing population on the Internet. Buying ad space on a website is inexpensive compared to television and radio that is a major advantage for McBride. Ad space on major Internet sites is a “double edge sword” for McBride’s marketing plan. The first is that people will see the ads every time a person opens his or hers favorite website. The second would be a direct link to McBride’s website allowing even more exsposer for the company’s…

Yahoo expects employees to work hard; therefore, the benefits and perks offered by the company reward them accordingly. Pay, benefits and careers are key components of Yahoo compensation strategy. Competitive pay rates attract skilled workers and reduce turnover rates because it aligns with company values and goals. Attractive benefits such as stock options, 401K (with company match), pre-tax savings, income protection (provided to all employees at no extra cost), tuition reimbursement and consulting subsidies give Yahoo a real competitive advantage and are used as a reward and recognition tool. Stable careers represent the future value and the opportunity to grow. (Yahoo- about us,…
I feel that Yahoo truly has a lot of work ahead of them. They seemed to be set in their ways as far as how they ran the company. They supply all of the same things that were a hit during the big boom era of the internet. The demand, is for an up to date current need. All of the other companies have updated what they have to offer to all age groups that are using the internet.…
The paid search market is a two-sided market where the advertisers form the “money” side and the end users who are searching the information form the “subsidy” side. The paid search listings are essentially “context” based advertisements that appear either adjacent to the search results or are interspersed with the search results. Advertisers pay for these advertisements to reach out customers who are searching for related information. A search engine like Google, Microsoft Bing or Yahoo returns the information to the users that are searching for the information and at the same time it provides a platform for the advertisers to target these users based on the key word they are searching. The advertisers can benefit from advertising on the chosen search engine if that search engine attracts high volume of users. Hence it makes sense for any search engine to subsidize the users in order to attract more eyeballs since the users are so highly valued by the “money” side of the paid search market. Attracting large number of users further generates “cross-side” network effects since more users mean more advertisers willing to pay to reach out to them. In the reverse direction too the network effect holds. Since, more advertisers means that the users can have information on larger number of products/services that are being advertised through the paid search market.…

Nevertheless, the website appears like a jigsaws puzzle. When observing the home page just about the fold, there is a pay-per-click advert to the top, on the right-hand side as well as in between some paragraphs. What's more, on the right side, there are duplicated ads by Google adjacent to each and not embedded properly into the page. Therefore, the pay-per-click advert left some instructional information out causing it to be unreadable and in fact, it left an impression that the viewers should stay away from clicking, (Salon,…

Observers note that Yahoo still earns most of its money by employing reporters to write stories and salespeople to sell ads, an old-media kind of operation that is hard to run at a profit. Yahoo outsourced web search to Microsoft’s Bing, and in spite of its leadership role in advertising, it has yet to offer much in the hot young market of mobile ads. Shifting from unprofitable, low-growth activities to activities with more potential could lead to significant staff cuts in some areas even as a hiring push continues in others. Still, one former employee sees hope. Geoff Ralston, who worked on Yahoo Mail, notes that EBay…
As little as two years ago, many advertising pundits were bemoaning the inevitable demise of the banner ad on the Internet. But maybe they were too quick to judge. This case reveals how Yahoo!, in combination with ACNielsen’s Homescan®, has developed a methodology (Consumer Direct) to evaluate the true effectiveness of banner ads, from ad exposure to shopping cart. It also reveals the role Dynamic Logic played in conducting postexposure ad evaluation. www.yahoo.com; www.acnielsen.com; www.dynamiclogic.com…

1. How does a search engine work and make money? What is the exportability of a search engine’s technology and business model? From the point of view on Wall Street, search has been a great source of revenues and profit.
