SEO involves getting lots of moving pieces coming together in the right way to form a perfect storm of sorts, which equates to better search results for a Web site.

I wonder if Yahoo will plummet or surge in after hours trading. Ballmer imho will try pull a ‘Larry Ellison’ and swoop in eventually buying Yahoo at a steep discount - similar to the Oracle/BEA buyout debacle…remember there is around $10+ of ‘buyout’ inflation value baked into their current pricing.

So here we are, three weeks later, and there’s still no agreement. Microsoft hasn’t gone hostile — yet. Its stock has continued to drift, which could make the acquisition more expensive; and Yahoo has given no indication that it’s warming up to a deal.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has dropped several not-so-subtle hints that it could walk away from Yahoo entirely — yesterday CFO Chris Liddell said in an internal interview that it was a distinct possibility. And on the company’s earnings call on Thursday, Liddell said speed was of the essence but the process has been “anything but speedy.”

Then again, it’s not even noon in California, so Microsoft still has plenty of time to attack.
