Yahoo Buzz

Yahoo Buzz is a new way for you to discover, vote for, and share the content and stories that matter most to you.

How does this work?

You cast your vote on the most interesting Web stories, images or videos about anything and everything. The best part is that the stories with the highest Buzz Scores – determined by combining your votes with organic search popularity rankings –may be featured on the Yahoo! homepage, giving you the power to influence what what millions of people see on Yahoo .


To add Yahoo! Buzz buttons to your own articles, web pages and blog posts, go to http://buzz.yahoo.com/buttons



How to get more votes


Put Yahoo! Buzz buttons on everything you publish.

Consider adding two buttons for each story you publish: one at the top and one at the bottom.

Put larger buttons with vote count.

Tell your visitors what Yahoo! Buzz is and encourage them to vote for your stories (and send them to friends).

Yahoo And Google Pact

Yahoo announced a non-exclusive pact that will enable it to run Google ads alongside its own search results in the US and Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, Yahoo! will select the search term queries for which - and the pages on which - Yahoo! may offer Google paid search results. It does not extend into the realm of natural or organic search.

This arrangement is not exclusive, meaning that Yahoo! could enter into similar arrangements with other companies.

The agreement has a term of up to ten years: a four-year initial term and two, three-year renewals at Yahoo!'s option.

Yahoo and Google each will continue to be paid directly by advertisers with Yahoo getting revenue share from Google.
