It Looks Like Yahoo Results Today Becomes Bing...

[SEORockStar]

I was doing a search in Yahoo today, and it looks like the long awaited Yahoo/Bing search engines merging is here.... Is Yahoo using Bing search results?

Try compare some keywords searching Yahoo and Bing at the same time, you will notice the same result. (I'm searching from the U.S, i don't know your location).

Also sitelinks easily seen in Bing is also displayed at Yahoo search results for example:
Top hosting companies like godaddy, verio, siteground etc. has sitelinks in place.
Top Directories like Dmoz, Botw, Ezilon, Joeant has sitelinks in place

Can someone check this 2 search engines Yahoo and Bing and see if i'm the only one seeing that from the United States?

If Yahoo and Microsoft teamed up, what is the advantage or disadvange to search industry?

40% to 60% identical for .com search

disadvantage - one cannot find information if other did not work for him

advantage - revenue share, market share and to take over Big Google (not possible at least for now)

yeah they are testing about 4% of search results but will be pushing more - people should be scrambling to SEO for Microsoft

[rustybrick]

up to 25% on the organic side and up to 3.5% on the paid side.
