Google Tells Advertisers to Try Yahoo! Search Marketing

In a WebmasterWorld thread, Google's AdWordsAdvisor tells advertisers to try both Google's AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing.

AdWordsAdvisor calls this "friendly competition" between the two PPC giants.

Heck, AdWordsAdvisor even tells advertisers to try Microsoft's adCenter.

And don't forget that third big option, either

Personally, I think it should be a bigger story if search engine reps *don't* say to try different search engines and ad systems. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. MSN can solve algebraic equations and show links from a domain, Yahoo! can point you to Yahoo answers and lots of backlinks to a domain, and Google's good at lots of stuff too, from the webmaster console to personalized search.

Easy to say, being the far leader. ;-)

Just kidding, I agree - it is very nice to see. Good people.
