Microsoft aimed at Google search advertising model push new weapons

Using its power, influence and wisdom, Microsoft has put the numerous products and services into three business category, this is the browser, operating system and portable music player, and the company gained the different degrees of success.

Now, Microsoft is will overcome is obviously not the core competence of business: advertising. It will head to the point of a line of experts, Google.

Only last month with Microsoft’s Brian McAndrews responsible for part of the attack, he was still on the study task in Microsoft Office 2007 way of doing things. But he understood that the Internet advertising business, because his advertising company Aquantive last month was Microsoft’s $6 billion acquisition.

McAndrews in the technical main competitor is DoubleClick, April, Google to 3.1 billion dollars will be its income bursa, so competition will be face to face. Google in Internet advertising success in the leading position, and it has had a good beginning, but Microsoft also have an advantage: buying Aquantive has air, and Google DoubleClick acquisition is yet to be the United States federal business committee, and the European Union review. Microsoft company says this pile are competition. Deal

McAndrews has a long-term strategy, this strategy will network advertising and Internet search detachment. Both has long been considered is inseparable, because a lot of people will gateway website and search engine as its web browser starting page, but McAndrews, this model said cheated advertisers and publishers network.

He set a system called “convert belong” attribution), this’ll (system will track the full web advertising consumers watch position, and to give advertisers the all information.

McAndrews claims, search engines do not need to bear all the advertising task.

With the company’s Atlas Aquantive, Microsoft for advertisers can departments to provide people visit the advertiser site in before all of the network advertisement placed site. These data based on a single computer of electronic signature, and not a single user.

Atlas department mainly responsible for on the web site, it has put ads in study this system for more than a year, at present, the conversion ownership system has begun testing early. DoubleClick July launched a similar technologies.

Atlas vice President-Bean, said man by his talk to escape the system is very expensive, no Microsoft’s support, the system not, because it needs a lot of deployment of the server to analysis the advertising visit every billions of. He said Microsoft has the ability to use the new tracking ability to achieve it in the value of advertising industry.

Microsoft said: “the man by his talk sense to, in order to get the TV advertising and traditional advertising revenue, you need this can embody the value measurement model. Otherwise, it will only in old-fashioned, buy more searches in the problem. Including MSN, all web portal can convert ownership system from a lot of good.”

Conversion ownership system is still place of development, Microsoft announced yesterday that will change video website advertising model of MSN, make it less disturb users, but more on the website exists. Microsoft the move is in response to Google August in YouTube video website the advertising, at that time, Google changes in some network video of placed ads. Below

MSN video will reduce every video ads, but the number of every three minutes, advertising video will play again. Until recently, MSN video ads are so far in the beginning of the video broadcast video clips, even if this paragraph only 10 seconds long. Microsoft video ads changes the frequency will encourage more people to upload video and attract more viewers.

In other areas in order to full after the pace of development of competitors, ballmer has the use of cash and equity trading on a large external purchase way. In 2007, Microsoft spent $6 billion for an Internet advertising software development and service providers aQuantiv, and hoping to keep up with Google in search areas of development steps. In 2008, he presented to the price of $33 a share buy yahoo, but in the end, was the latter to refuse.

Continuously for business development Microsoft organization structure are bloated, and in the process, how to depend on ourselves to develop new products is always the problem with Microsoft. Microsoft need to develop various rules and system to control the size of the various business, but these red tape but it happened on innovation is the obstacle. Microsoft in Washington state in the United States and around Seattle area, Raymond the park has more than 100 employees, is building a company to nearly 90000 people.

In addition, Microsoft has always insists on the Windows as the center of product development strategy. Whether in music or search, in mobile devices, and Microsoft have both in the field of new products with Windows operating system established close contact between.
