Note: How far will Yahoo go with social networking? Does Terry Semel
need to confiscate the merger and acquisition department's AmEx cards? Let us
know if social networking benefits your site on WebProWorld.
Few things make marketing types go weaker in the knees than a place full of young
adults, millions of them just waiting to see the rush of advertising that marketers
want to deliver in as many ways as possible. USA Today profiled
MySpace, and in its story one can't help but see how Yahoo may be trying to catch
that lightning in a bottle.
Yahoo has been making a series of purchases, all of which focus heavily on the
so-called "social networking" scene. Photo sharing site Flickr, community events
calendar Upcoming.org, bookmarking site del.icio.us, and most recently media playlist
community Webjay all take their marching orders from Yahoo's Sunnyvale headquarters
now.

MySpace has rocketed in membership since its inception in January 2004. Research
firm Intelliseek places that number at 47.3 million, the report said, and cited
an Intelliseek rep as being "flabbergasted" by the numbers.
It's looking more and more like News Corp got a bargain with its $580 million
purchase of MySpace parent Intermix in 2005. The company's former
CEO thought that offer was too low and attempted to make a higher offer but
was rebuffed.
Yahoo has its 360 service, a site where users can set up a page about themselves,
just as they do in MySpace. The company has been making investments and improvements
in its music search and services, too.
But Yahoo, which has been around from the earlier days of the World Wide Web,
may be seen as too old by the MySpace audience, too obvious in its attempt to
grab more eyeballs for its ubiquitous advertising.
For all of its acquisitions, Yahoo hasn't demonstrated how all of those shiny
new toys M&A picked up for them will work together. Even if they do form a
cohesive strategy, the simplicity of MySpace, plus its vaunted coolness as a place
to break new music, may be too potent for Yahoo to beat.

Interview With Todd Malicoat
 By
Lee Odden
I was planning to post this interview with Todd next Monday, but as usual, Todd
has done a super job and providing insight into all things important about SEO.
I first met Todd via email almost a year ago by commenting on a post at his blog.
Since then we've met in person several times at Pubcon and SES conferences.
One of the great things about the SEO industry is the networking and opportunity
to meet and collaborate with some of the smartest people you'll find anywhere.
Todd is certainly one of those people. He is highly regarded by many of the most
prominent and talented SEOs in the industry. I'm happy to get 10 min of his time
via IM once in a while, so getting him to answer 11 detailed questions on SEO
is very much appreciated. Once you read the interview below, you'll see why.
Please describe your background and how did you get involved with search marketing?
Hey Lee… I see there are other great questions here so I'll leave the plugs for
the end if people still wanna read ‘em. I've been doin' websites since '97 and
learning about the web as much as possible since then. If people really want to
know a Google
search for my name will reveal more than they ever wanted to know.

IFrames And Google
Welcome to the 2nd week of the New Year. I hope 06 has started well for you guys.
No complaints here, except for the post-2005 performance of my basketball team,
but I digress. In today's WPW spotlight post, member ATK
has some questions pertaining the use of IFrames and how Google handles these.
From what I've seen, the answer is pretty straight forward (Google treats IFrames
as a separate page), but perhaps some of you have some knowledge I'm not aware
of (no surprise there). Thanks for any help you can give. Take care,
|| Chris||
Are
IFrames "Google Friendly"?
I have been discussing the possibility of having a scrollable window frame inside
a static page with our sites design team and they suggested the best way of doing
this is to use iframes. This seems like a relatively good idea however they were
unsure if iframes are google friendly; can google read the content within such
a frame?
Along these lines can anyone suggest a better method for our
portal page?
What we are hoping to achieve is to have a box of scrollable text appear when
you click on a specific button visible on the portal page; if the button is not
clicked the page looks exactly as is, if it is clicked then the white text boxes
and people's faces on the right hand side of the page would be replaced with the
scrollable text.
