Yahoo looks to Google for partnerships

May 5th, 2008, 4:52 am

Yahoo is likely to push for an advertising partnership with the web search leader Google Inc. to help boost near-term operating performance, sources familiar with the matter said.

Expectation that Yahoo chief executive Jerry Yang has another strategy up his sleeve could help mitigate a steep descent for the company's shares today, but he will face angry questions from shareholders if nothing materializes.

Much of this is related to the fact that Yahoo rejected Microsoft's offer so there is much more pressure on Jerry Yang to actually show he made the right decision:

Google and Yahoo had the 2 week test with 3% paid Yahoo searches.

Will be interesting to see how things work out with ad outsoursing to Google
