However, things would appear to have started
looking up for the search business destined to be forever in the shadow
of Google. According to reports discussions have begun between Yahoo!
and Microsoft with regards an advertising partnership.
All Things Digital
reported how Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer held
face-to-face talks at the end of last week.
Although it would appear that any chance of a renewed acquisition
attempt by Microsoft was most definitely not on the cards, commercial
relationships including advertising partnerships most certainly appear
to have been.
This was enough to prompt a dramatic rise in the demand for Yahoo!
stock with a 7.6 percent upwards bump during early trading on Monday,
the best it has done for six months and in the face of a market going
in the opposite direction.
It will be interesting to see how Google stock responds later this week, after the publication of first-quarter results.
One Oppenheimer analyst, Jason Helfstein, predicts that Google will
report a 5 percent year over year decline in first quarter paid click
revenues.
