Abstract:
In 2004, online ad spending was growing globally and accounted for 49% of total revenues of consumer advertisers. Some analysts predicted that this would rise to $7 billion by 2007. Yahoo! and Google were in the middle of a fight in going after the ad dollars. While for Yahoo! advertising accounted for nearly 75% of its revenues, advertisers loved Google, too. Google’s barebones ad format drove click-through rates several times.
Yahoo! boasted a diverse online ad portfolio not only selling ads next to search results but also doing big business with so-called "branded ads". Google, by contrast, confined itself almost entirely to contextual search-based advertising. The case attempts to present the strategies employed by these firms to be one up on the other as the internet advertising matured.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To discuss strategies of Yahoo and Google advertising
- To discuss the portfolio of Yahoo and Google.
