Andrew Pascoe's got the buzz on the Google/Soush (Ansearch - ANH) deal for Australasia, in more prequel action to the Aussie Web 2.0 Smackdown ! "According to Soush though, one key difference is the publishers that take up their offering won't see the infamous "ads by google" strapline next to the ad units. The other key difference is the same ad space, for the publisher, can run either the AdSense resold product OR a normal CPM display ad."

Disclaimer : I don't own any shares but suffice to say Ansearch (ANH : ASX stock market) is going in the opposite direction to google at moment. Probably because it's market cap is in the low tens of millions, not $100B+. And what else can you trade on the Aussie Stock Market that's a pure play search engine or internet media company other than large cap seek. Alot of their execs I know because we all worked at sensis during the market downturn. And they like to execute fast. But, I like art too. Geek art. Esp Monetised geek art, which is where the tech net'k-effect and ad yields collide. You gotta love the Australian market at moment : Lots of multi-billion dollar media companies and telcos looking to eat lunch, before they are. And little 2.0 competition.
