55% Say Yahoo/Microsoft Deal With Increase CPC Prices

About a week ago, I ran a poll asking if CPC prices will increase after the Yahoo/Microsoft search ad deal transitions over.

Most those who replied said yes. 55% of the 71 responses, yes, not our largest poll, said the prices of the keywords on a cost-per-click level will increase. 30% said the prices will remain about the same. Only 7% said the prices will decrease and 8.5% said they really don't know.

Here is the break down:

• CPC Prices Will Increase: 55%
• CPC Prices Will Remain About The Same: 30%
• No Idea: 8.5%
• CPC Prices Will Decrease : 7%
