As expected Yahoo told me that you can expect some of your minimum bids to change as soon as early next week. So if you are running ad campaigns on Yahoo Search Marketing, and your quality is not up to Yahoo's level, then your minimum bid may spike up. Yahoo informed us of this change back in late February. For more details on the specifics, please see my write up from then. I will report back on how much this has impacted the average Yahoo advertiser after it goes live. read more »

Danny has written extensively about the past and potential future of search. And this past year we saw the introduction of "blended" or "universal" search. Among other developments, search results became much more "multi-media" and visual. In particular video became part of organic and, most recently, paid search results. Accordingly, I believe that the future of search will be considerably more visual than it is today. Click to continue reading... read more »

A new version of Microsoft's Live Search Maps has rolled out (after yesterday's major traffic and routing upgrade). There's an enormous range of feature and functionality upgrades, which are explained in some detail on the Virtual Earth blog. There's also a discussion at CNET.
