Yahoo is accepting PayPal

While I have been doing my job as a paid poster I encounter thread which is saying about Yahoo is using PayPal. I thought that this could be an increase for sales on them and an opportunity for most advertisers who doesn’t have a credit card. This morning I just try to prove for myself if thread is true. I have setup a false account to know what payment method is available. After going to each process I finally made it to the pay section where I was ask to how much would I pay and choose what payment method. I was so happy that I see PayPal as their payment method on the two choices provided. The other one is credit card.

Yahoo advertisng

I want to create an account with them so I can use the coupon which I got from hosting service which is a free $100 worth of advertising from Yahoo and Google. I don’t have any problem on using Google since they have the options to be paid by debit card however Yahoo can only be paid by credit card only. Now seeing this new option, I could say that I will use them on my future advertising.

Yahoo has beaten Google

It seems that Google isn’t the choice for most users right now because recently I have posted about Alexa’s top 10 websites and it show Yahoo on top. I’m sure that a lot of Google haters will be proud of this because they don’t need to depend on Google anymore to get some good traffic for free.

I have consulted Alexa’ top 500 for that list and I’m sure that it’s 100% accurate because this is based on the new ranking system to which Alexa has claimed that will better than the old one because the traffic ranks are now based on how many are visiting your site. I remember that the old ranking system used Alexa toolbar as away to measure how popular is your website so that will only mean you can just download the toolbar and run it across your computers. The hold Alexa ranking system will show you on top. Now since adapting the new system many have claimed that their rank has dropped, but others have also claimed that that their ranking improved. Let’s us go back to main topic and end this now.

Before Google, Yahoo has already dominated the internet for years but then Google come along and become popular with the internet users. As Google become popular, they have created many rules that have affected lots of webmasters around the world such as the banning of too much viral marketing and a lot more. They have purchase one website and then they want to grow. Now that they have purchased most of the popular ones, it gotten to their heads and most of the webmasters this days are looking up to them to get some traffic. I have heard from one of my friends that Google has said that “If they want free traffic, they must follow the rules. So we follow their rules and we get some good traffic. The only one that I know who has been defying Google is John Chow which has gotten his site penalized as a result of his mass viral marketing tactics.

After several years of Google domination, it seems that the people using the internet are now turning to Yahoo for most of their search. This is a good thing because it will only mean that Yahoo can get us more traffic better than Google. We don’t have to depend on Google anymore for most of our traffic. I don’t want to defy Google but I don’t also want to depend on them for most of my traffic because they want to control us. I’m not saying that Yahoo is an Angel but I’m just pointing out that it is better if Yahoo will dominate because Google has made a lot of rules regarding with their free traffic. I know that Yahoo will eventually change its rules on their free traffic but I’m glad that they are the one on top right now because it’s better if we will be depending on the two. If we can’t follow the other one’s rule then we can switch to the other one. It is better to have two giants fighting each other than to have one giant dominate us. As long as they aren’t going to merge then the results will be in our favor.
