Yahoo Search is no more. Well, let’s be clear — you can still search for things on yahoo.com (if you’re doing that for some reason) but the power behind that neon purple facade has been coming from a new place since (at least) January 17th with the full transition of all accounts estimated to take […]
Because Bing’s percent of total purchases, reservations, etc. varies from advertiser to advertiser, as does, quite frankly, the value and importance of advertising on Bing. During an agency-wide touch-base with PMG’s Bing reps in March, we learned about several recent and upcoming enhancements that may provide more opportunities for advertisers to improve performance on Bing […]
