Yahoo! Search Lays Off 1,000 Employees

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Yahoo! just announced today that they have encountered some financial troubles during the last part of 2007 and as a result, they will be laying off 1,000 employees.

So, what does this mean for you as a business owner utilizing Yahoo’s pay per click advertising program?  Probably nothing right now but it does show that Yahoo’s hold in the search engine market is continuing to decline.

As a Yahoo! advertiser, you should be concerned with this and continual monitoring of this downward spiral is warranted.  If the growth rate does not swing up over the coming months, I would not suggest increasing the amount of monthly spending you do with Yahoo!
