Nov. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- There are two critical factors that will influence the success of Microsoft-Yahoo’s merger to challenge Google, according Seattle Biz Coach Terry Corbell. Mr. Corbell explains at The Biz Coach site, which provides proven solutions for maximum profits (http://www.bizcoachinfo.com).

Mr. Corbell also explains the tech drama and why the deal has been delayed.

“The 10-year deal – Microsoft’s Bing will power Yahoo’s searches and Yahoo will sell advertising for both companies – has been delayed. And there is added intrigue as Google is trying to crush the deal,” Mr. Corbell reports.

He writes a lot of commerce is at stake: “The future of the three companies, more than $22 billion in advertising, financial success for advertising companies and their employees in a tepid economy, as well as the efficacy for 180 million daily Internet users.”

The Biz Coach also explains the recent developments, which demonstrate what the three companies are doing to optimize their chances for success.
