雅虎 雅虎SearchMonkey画廊向公众开放

Yahoo Search has finally gotten the monkey off of its back, the SearchMonkey that is, as the Yahoo SearchMonkey Gallery and Yahoo Search Customization has launched in public beta to give Yahoo users the options of customizing their search results with applications built by third party publishers.

As posted on the Yahoo Search Blog :

What kind of applications are available? Well for one, bloggers can develop applications which show ther top 10 latest blog posts in an expandable window under their search results.

Likewise, HowStuffWorks.com is using SearchMonkey to add basic content to their listings within Yahoo Search Results.

In a statement on the Yahoo Search Blog, Director of Product Management Amit Kumar says :

Yahoo SearchMonkey Apps, Marketing & SEO

To put out the fire on any search marketing confusion, SearchMonkey apps do not help the ranking of a web site within Yahoo Search results.

Even though there is no change in rankings, a publisher who builds a SearchMonkey app and与用户共享它，理想情况下应该从这些品牌忠实用户那里获得更好，更多的点击率。

此外，发布商创建Yahoo结果后，所有Yahoo用户都不会在Yahoo结果中看到发布者的应用。

取而代之的是，用户必须选择自己通过Yahoo Search面板中的新“自定义”标签，还是通过发布者网站或市场营销活动将应用程序添加到其自定义搜索结果中。当然，由于大多数人都拥有Yahoo用户帐户雅虎，因此发布者可以在其网站，Facebook应用程序，出站***雅虎*，博客文章或RSS feed上添加“将我们添加到Yahoo”图标，以帮助加速Yahoo SearchMoney应用程序的采用。

雅虎还将与一些独特的合作伙伴合作，以在其系统中提供特殊选择的应用程序。明显的合作伙伴可能包括eBay，亚马逊，****和其他当前主要的Yahoo内容合作伙伴以及在线新闻出版物。

顺便说一句，如果您是开发人员，那么请c向Yahoo SearchMonkey开发人员挑战赛致敬，获胜者将获得$ 10,000的奖金。
