[...] Seeking Alpha est une société américaine qui a une approche beaucoup plus pertinente sur les blogs boursiers et qui de plus a un partenariat de distribution avec Yahoo Finance. SeekingAlpha agrège des analyses boursières d’utilisateurs sur plus de 4000 sociétés côtées. L’approche par filtre est l’un des éléments les plus intéressants puisque SeekinAlpha trie et organise à la base les billets les plus intéressants (plus d’infos ici et sur le billet de TechCrunch).

Yeah, I gotta do a post on this.

If I follow the process from Yahoo! Finance to reading a complete article, with an eye towards web links and monetization, I will be exposed to about twenty-two advertisements, two of which are links to Seeking Alpha. In the meantime, the blogger who wrote the article will get at least one link directly to his or her site, appearing directly beneath the article’s title on the page with the article. Stepping through the process again, from start to finish, Seeking Alpha gets about a dozen mentions for each mention of even the most prolific author’s name, and Seeking Alpha gets the first credit on every title line.

I’m curious about the advertising revenue expectations of Seeking Alpha…

They seem to have high quality advertisers.

Any partnership that drivers viewers to them should be positive.

SA is a fantastic site. It is always great to see big companies buy up the smaller ones. It also seems to be a trend. Why innovate when you can throw money at an issue.

Seems original content is getting less and less valulable especially if you can ‘pretty up’ existing content.

Seems like all they do is aggregate content from a bunch of different blogs, polishing it up a bit.

It is quite extensive though, and Yahoo does love content, so it could work.

Is it just me or does any one else see “Seeking” as “Seaking” in the headline
Wondering how it went unnoticed !!!

It is interesting that Yahoo keep attempting to team up with financial news aggregation sites when there own finance portal pretty much has every financial opinion on the planet either via their own users or via rss.

Im not sure why they wouldnt strike a deal with a massive player like marketwatch.com - solely for the reviews and commentary posted on a site of that magnitude?

Like you said about the gawker deal - what is important is that yahoo sees no real added value to buying them.

keep your enemies CLOSE

[...] I was just reading about the deal over at TechCrunch . Details are thin. No money changed hands so it is just a PR deal. Thin for a reason . No substance as usual, just TechCrunch jumping on a PR announcement. [...]
