Bing and Yahoo! team up on search

We hope Wednesday’s announcement of the new search and advertising partnership with Yahoo! is just the first step in a journey that will provide more choice to consumers, better value to our customers, and more innovation by enabling efficiencies and integration within our Search and Search Advertising businesses.

As of now, things here will remain status quo. There will be no immediate changes to our ongoing work because of this announcement. We will continue to support webmasters with the Webmaster Center forums and talk about SEO and SEM issues in the Webmaster Center blog.

But we urge you to stay tuned to the Bing Webmaster Center blog for regular updates and news of interest to our webmaster customers. We have high expectations for the future, and we know that you do as well. You can stay on top of breaking news by subscribing to the Webmaster Center blog RSS feed or by regularly visiting our blog page. In the meantime, we’ll keep up with other blog articles of interest to webmasters, including the popular SEM 101 column, to add value to this growing community of users. Thanks for tuning in!
