This is a crazy news that has surfaced the net. I didn’t actually believe that this would occur but what’s done is done and there’s nothing to do in order to stop it. The merge of Microsoft and Yahoo! seems to have ceased. Microsoft ended up leaving the bid because Yahoo! wouldn’t accept their offer.

What has this done?

A real competition between Google. There isn’t really any real competition between Google because they take majority of the internet and continue to be successful. Also, Yahoo! and Google has tested out a few weeks ago a deal that they would soon work out. So this leaves Microsoft in the dust! Microsoft, one of the biggest companies out right now, has been rejected by another business that’s not really in the same level as they are. Yahoo!’s stock has went down by a lot which was expected but do you think they will be able to redeem their selves?

In my opinion, the buyout is what brought their stocks to raise and now it’s back to where it started and Yahoo! hasn’t been improving for a while now. Now if their deal with Google goes successfully, then they do have a chance but I don’t see any way that Yahoo! can redeem itself.

What’s your opinion on this?

In all niches, there has to be a market strategy that you can approach in order to ‘beat’ the competition. In this case, our niche is the ‘online webmaster’ niche which can be a pretty hard niche to master if you don’t concentrate it on the right way. It’s about the same for every other niche but this one in particular has it’s slight differentiation which is that it’s a bit saturated.

Having a niche with millions of companies/websites in it already can definitely to make a difference in your success. For example, let’s take the ‘make money online’ blogs for a second. There are only a few bloggers who actually makes a decent amount of money online and this is what most likely got their readers attention. But having their success by now owning a popular blog that’s classified as a ‘make money online’ blog on top of making a lot more money online elsewhere brings many interested people/webmasters that would like to do the same. They would like to take a piece of the market by starting their own ‘make money online’ blog. The only differences between the two is that one actually does make money while the other one is really assuming how to make money as they never been through the experiences.

This is where your internet marketing strategy would definitely need to come in handy. Everyone has their own opinion and views on certain things and that’s what really has to make your internet marketing strategy unique. Brainstorm great ideas that you are satisfied with and that’s personally your thing. The other bloggers who are actually making money online had it the easy way as they been through it already and can quickly grab the attention by backing it all up. You, however, can’t fit into this position yet. Tie in your favorite hobbies that you know many others would enjoy as well along with your blog and you can grab some attention from there.

After all, a blog is what you make it. Make it all you and take it in the swift lane!
