eBay, Google up on ad deal - MarketWatch
Shares of the largest Internet companies were trading mostly higher Monday, led by bellwethers Google Inc. and eBay Inc., which both rose on news of a new advertising deal between the two companies.
According to a Monday announcement, Google is now an exclusive provider of text-based ads for eBay Web sites serving areas outside the United States. Earlier this year, eBay reached a similar pact with Yahoo for U.S. ads.
That's three wins out of four for Google in the past few weeks. On the win side, Ebay International, MySpace, and Technorati build their network, while Facebook going to Microsoft is the biggest loss.
What will be the next big deal? Will Amazon make a move? Wikipedia? Craigslist? IMDB? Digg? Anyone care to guess?
