Yahoo and AOL

Recession has many faces and the SEO industry isn’t all together safe. First there were desperate attempts by Microsoft to take over Yahoo, but having failed hasn’t stopped Microsoft from being interested. In fact they’re even hopeful regarding the Yahoo and AOL merger because they can again make attempts to take over. In fact, many market experts still suggest that Microsoft and Yahoo would rather find some common ground and seal the deal than have Yahoo cut up and used in different ways. The implications are serious and the outcome will have long lasting effects on the SEO industry.

The third quarter has already spelt doom for most companies and before the end of another disastrous 4th quarter; it’s likely that AOL and Yahoo will wrap up talks. Both companies are in serious talks and management at different levels are negotiating to find the best outcome. The financial meltdown has affected stocks of both companies and trends don’t suggest that things will stabilise if not handles immediately. From $3, to a value of $11 or $12, things don’t look too good for Ballmer. As if tension wasn’t mounting, there really is time factor that’s playing havoc. The SEO industry is faced with unknown changes; the world is waiting and watching.
