Yahoo Search Monkey
March 14th, 2008Today, at the inaugural Search Marketing Expo West conference, Yahoo plans to unveil a project code-named “Search Monkey,” a set of open-source tools that allow users and publishers to annotate and enhance search results associated with specific web sites.
The new enhancements differ from Yahoo’s “Shortcuts” that sometimes appear at the top of search result pages. Shortcuts are served by Yahoo whenever the search engine is confident that the shortcut links are more relevant than the other web search results on the page. Often, shortcuts highlight content from Yahoo’s own network of sites.
The new enhancements can be applied to any web site. Publishers can add additional information that will be displayed with the web search result. For example, retailers can include product information, restaurants can include links to menus and reviews, local merchants can display operating hours, address, and phone information, and so on—far more information than a title, URL, and description that make up current generation search results.

Uh..Search Monkey..Nice one
Anyway, Ajay, I can’t find any way to contact you so I think I would just leave a message here to you regarding link exchange.
I have already gone ahead and added your link http://ajayshroff.com and http://suggestamovie.com/movieblog to our website at:
http://www.ontechnews.com (Under “blogroll” at right hand side)
We’ve got several PR4 and 5 websites, so we expect this site to become atleast a PR4 within 3 months and will eventually become a 5 or 6 in 6-8 months.
I hope this can be a way for us to benefit our visitors with excellent content. Hope to hear from you soon.
