Yahoo launched a new paid search service, called Yahoo Premium Search. The content integration and technology company, Divine, the company that acquired Northern Light, is powering the new service.
You know, I never paid for Northern Light before, and I'm not sure why I'd pay for it now. I'm sure that they'll make some cash for the service, just given the increased exposure that it will get from being distributred by Yahoo. However, selling premium search services to the business community (unless your name is Dow Jones or Lexis Nexis) is going to be really tough. Plus, there is Google.
Yahoo claims that the new service has:
- Over 70 million full-text documents
- Compiled from more than 7,100 diverse sources
- In-depth coverage in business, health, science, news, and much more
- Prices for most documents range from $1 to $4
- Free document summary before purchase
- Money back guarantee
