Yahoo to Charge for Guaranteeing a Spot on Its Index
Yahoo to Charge for Guaranteeing a Spot on Its Index
There was always an economic interest to the Internet although it must be said that its start it was an mode of communication that was used to share ideas and data among colleges, universities and defense agencies.
Yahoo wants sites to pay to go to the top of the page of a content or interest search and they pretend that users will not notice the difference.
I've always made it a practice to avoid paid results and will continue to do so. A reason so many find there sites listed on Newenglandwow.com and don't even know it. Our goal is to tell people about New England with candor and honesty. We don't take the upfront money so everyone is equal.
We're avoiding what Yahoo and others are doing. It is possible, given their logo, to buy a top posting for one's site for any and all search requests. If I had a few billion sitting around, I could buy a top ranking for our site even if the search request had nothing to do with New England or the services we provide.
That's the problem with Yahoo and others. They're smart people just wanting to make as much money as possible.
