Yahoo!
Did you ever wonder how SEO/SEM was done for a large company with multiple properties? Put your speculations to rest and meet David Roth, the Director of Search Marketing at Yahoo! His job is to organize and manage the marketing of the 15 different properties in the U.S. as well as the global SEO practices for the company.
One of the biggest parts of directing SEO/SEM for a company like Yahoo! is marketing the seasonal events. Consumers are just finishing up with the travel season and are preparing for upcoming events such as fantasy football and holiday shopping. Roth says Yahoo! must monitor these events closely.
SEO/SEM is a challenging business and one that marketers must stay on top of. Roth says that when he first came to Yahoo!, he saw the need to set up internal tools, processes, and goals and he advises other marketers to do the same with their businesses. Search marketing affects any goal a company has and should, therefore, be managed thoroughly and effectively.

thank you this video
Sorry, was I asleep? Probably by the end. I just didn’t hear anything I could use on this one. “How will BING.com impact the future of Yahoo!?” “Why does Yahoo! continue their paid inclusion fee when I can just setup a “my yahoo” page and get in for free?” “Or, does that not even matter anymore if you’re in with BING?” “When will I type in http://www.Yahoo.com and be forwarded to “BING.com” for search? This month? Next year?
Those are the questions I would’ve asked and what people want to know. Seems like a “scoop story” slipped by here….
Great video, it was interesting to learn a little more about how internal SEM works at Yahoo!…much like many other companies!

I 100% agree with Roth on this. I bet David also went through a lot of roadblocks even when the company was a Search Engine itself. There are a whole bunch of things that get done a bit differently and I can imagine what you mean when you say “Search marketing affects any goal a company has and should, therefore, be managed thoroughly and effectively.”
