Yahoo! Search Marketing's sponsored listings appear on Yahoo! and on sites participating in its
distribution network, now called the Yahoo! Publisher Network.

"Unifying all of our search marketing and related products under one umbrella is one of many
steps we will be taking to provide an easy, one-stop experience for our advertisers," said Steve
Mitgang, senior vice president of product marketing, Yahoo! Search Marketing. "Over the past
six months, we've introduced new product features and refined our infrastructure to make
search marketing easier for our advertisers, and are very excited to continue that progress by
launching our new Yahoo! Search Marketing site."
