It's Yahoo Plus eBay vs. Google

Octagon Most writes "Yahoo and eBay have announced a broad partnership in their efforts to compete against Google and Microsoft." From the article: "In addition, Yahoo Web search features will be integrated into a co-branded version of the eBay toolbar, and the companies said they would explore developing 'click-to-call' ad technologies on their respective Web sites. 'Click-to-call' provides a link inside an advertisement that allows consumers to directly call the advertiser to pursue a transaction."

eBay on Google by goldaryn · 2006-05-25 04:09 · Score: 5, Interesting

This begs the question: have eBay now stopped (or stemmed at least) their ubiquitous Google search ad campaign? I did a few quick searches and didn't see as many eBay links as usual...

TFA: Yahoo and eBay said they do not expect the partnership to have a material impact on their financial results this year.

Expect a statement soon from Google saying they agree :-)
