A week ago we informed you that Yahoo! has officially announced that they will launch a quality score to the Yahoo Search marketing.

Bill Slawski has written a post on thirteen new Yahoo! Search Marketing patent applications. He has cleverly explained the patent applications which will assist the sponsored link advertisers in achieving a high rank on Yahoo!

As with any patent applications, what is described in these may be different from what is actually implemented in a number of ways, but if you are interested in paid search you may want to take a look at them. Since there are so many, I decided that I would link to them here, and post the abstracts from them rather than take weeks to read through them and write about them individually.”
