Rivals Yahoo and Google launched assaults on each other’s territory as the fight for the Internet search dollars heated up.
Yahoo’s one-two combination began when the Cable News Network’s online arm tapped it to replace Google to power its search results. The switchover, which went live Wednesday, means that Yahoo will provide algorithmic and paid results whenever CNN users conduct a search query on the site.
What Yahoo is Offering:
Yahoo sent e-mails to some customers in hopes of gauging their interest in receiving 100MB of storage.
What Google is Offering
Google also surprised many on the Net by announcing plans for the first time to sell ads that include images, a reversal for a company that has won regard for its pioneering use of text-only marketing pitches and for keeping its home page religiously free of banner advertising. The new program will allow customers to place image, or banner, ads on third-party Web sites that participate in its AdSense program.
