Yahoo search engine marketing refers to a range of marketing activities related to the Yahoo search engine. Yahoo was was of the early pioneers of search engine marketing but has been overtaken by Google in many areas. One of Yahoo's key innovations was paid search. Its pay per click platform, called Overture opened up a huge market which in recent years has been overshadowed by Google Adwords. 

The Yahoo Algorithm

To date the real value of Yahoo is that it reacts to on-page SEO techniques much more directly than Google. Google has a built-in time delay. It tends to prefer older, more established websites with older more stable inbound link portfolios. A website going through an SEO process tends to show improvements fairly rapidly in the Yahoo and Bing search results, before more slowly rising through the Google rankings. Yahoo therefore serves as a benchmark for on-page SEO.

Yahoo and Microsoft

Yahoo and Microsoft have entered into a 10-year partnership that involves sharing search engine marketing resources. In most markets, including the UK and USA, organic search will utilise the Bing search engine. In those same markets the pay per click activities will be based based around the Yahoo platform. Yahoo and Microsoft will combine their pay per click operations in a way that resembles the old Overture marketing operation. The joint venture was approaved by the European Commission in early 2010.
