What People Are Missing About The Yahoo Search Deal

0

Some so called Yahoo ‘experts‘ were quick to praise CEO Marissa Mayer for the new search deal agreed this morning with Microsoft.

But this deal changes little for Yahoo’s dying search business. Specifically, it doesn’t address the lack of quality advertisers on Yahoo’s search network these days. Years ago advertisers made sure they were on both Yahoo and Google. Now many top advertisers don’t bother with Yahoo and opt to advertise only on Google.

As ads are priced based on an auction system losing key advertisers depresses the overall market and results in low revenues per click to Yahoo. This allows low quality advertisers, like Ask.com, to fill the void and create a bad user experience for Yahoo’s users. When someone searches for “Student Credit Card” they want the actual card – not another page of links like those offered by Ask.com and others. The net effect is users having a poor experience on Yahoo and leaving in droves.

The new deal does not address the underlying causes for advertisers fleeing Yahoo. It’s great Yahoo can now sell its own ads again but convincing advertisers to come back to a small platform that poorly targets ads to users (thanks to the use of Microsoft’s poor matching technology) is a challenge Yahoo is not likely to overcome.

Here’s more details of today’s announcement:

Yahoo today announced an extension to their 2010 search deal with Microsoft. The announcement also included two key changes to the deal.

(1.) Yahoo will now be able to use non-Bing ads for up to 49% of the ads it serves search customers

(2.) Microsoft will now sell all the Bing ads under the deal. Yahoo will transfer all client relationships involved with these ads to Microsoft and instead focus its sales and relationships on its Gemini ad platform.

About Prescription Glasses

If a person claims that his or her prescription eyewear is scratch-resistant, consider it to be untrue. In almost all instances, this is simply a marketing approach put into practice by the glasses company.

However, plastic lenses that are made up of a durable coating are, to a greater extent, resistant to scratches than glass lenses. However, they are still not completely scratch-resistant.

A great way to order new glasses is on the internet. Glasses ordered over the internet can often be obtained at lower costs than retail outlets. This is because online retailers order large quantities of glasses directly from the manufacturer. They also do not have to pay the expenses of maintaining a physical location.

However, when ordering glasses online, the customer should make sure that they know all the critical information regarding their prescription. Failing to provide such information could result in an inaccurate order.

Still, there’s no denying the convenience of ordering glasses online. Using this method, you can have prescription glasses and sunglasses delivered directly to your door.

About Chinese Diet Teas: Are They Safe?

Chinese teas have been an ideal recommendation for people on diets for many years. These teas contain few calories, and the caffeine in the tea speeds up one’s metabolism to help support weight loss. Furthermore, the polyphenols found in the tea have been known to break down fat.

The teas have many names, including Chinese diet tea, weight loss tea, super dieter’s tea, fasting tea and slimming tea. But regardless of the name, they all communicate the same message of ‘’drink this tea to slim down’’.

Nevertheless, some specialists have pointed out that what you simply drink from these teas is a plant-originated purgative that can result in serious problems, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach ache, fainting, severe stomach ache, and possibly even death when consumed in excess. As a result, one might want to think twice before drinking these teas.

How To Survive Menopause

The stoppage of a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle is known as menopause. This condition usually arrives at the age period of 40 to 50. It happens when women experience hormonal changes. These changes are depicted through various symptoms like hot flushes, irritation, irregular menstrual cycles and much more. Women undergoing menopause might experience insomnia, a lack of sexual desire, headaches, memory issues, gaining weight or osteoporosis.

The menopause cycle begins when the ovaries of a woman stop producing eggs and her process of ovulation ends. In this situation, the woman’s estrogen level decreases. Her progesterone level also declines, which makes her uterus line thinner, thus stopping her monthly menstrual process.

How To Choose The Best Tanning Bed Lotions

Tanning bed lotions are a necessary item whether you are a regular user of tanning bed or just getting a one time base tan for the summer holidays or an upcoming vacation. There are different varieties of tanning lotions for various skin types. Cooling lotions help keep the skin refreshed during the process. Other lotions help to maintain your tan so that you don’t have to tan as often.

Tanning Bed Lotions Advantages

Lotions help to regulate the skin’s absorption of UVA and UVB rays. They allow your skin to get the desired tan, while also protecting your skin against the harmful effects of these rays. Moisturizers help to reduce the drying affects of these beds, as they add moisture to your skin. Moisturized skin helps you achieve your tanning color faster and keep it for a longer time.

Always use the best available tanning bed lotion possible. You can choose the best lotion depending on the type of your skin and the tanning bed you are using. Different skin tones need different tanning lotions. Your beautician can help you select the perfect tanning lotion for you.

Tanning products come in the forms of cream, gel, lotion or oil. If a certain product suits your skin type and tanning bed, then you can make preferences of your choice. The ingredients are more important than preparation. Therefore, always read the labels.

Anti-Pregnancy Shots

For some women, it is embarrassing to buy birth control at a pharmacy. Fortunately, there is another method that doesn’t require one to stand in line at a store feeling embarrassed.
