Yahoo Inc. disclosed that NHN Corp. has decided to stop using Yahoo's search advertising service in November. Yahoo said in a regulatory filing that its partnership with NHN, which operates the Naver search engine, represented 'less than 1%' of its gross profit in the first half of 2010. The decision by NHN also comes roughly one month after Yahoo Japan, a partly-owned but independent affiliate of Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo, opted to stop using Yahoo search and start using service provided by Google (GOOG).

Yahoo! Inc. and Dex One Corporation announced an expanded partnership which will increase local businesses' online exposure. All businesses advertising on Dex One's popular local search site, DexKnows(TM), will now be able to have their online listings appear in Yahoo! Local search results. The expanded partnership doubles the geographic area covered by an existing relationship formed in 2007, providing more local businesses with greater opportunities to attract ready-to-buy customers. Dex One's online listings are comprised of detailed business information and direct links to businesses' DexKnows profile pages. The profile pages feature user-generated ratings and reviews, maps of business locations, and more. The previous agreement between Dex One and Yahoo! exclusively covered the 14-state region where Dex One is the official print directory publisher for Qwest. Since the initiation of the original agreement, the relationship between Dex One and Yahoo! has proven highly successful, yielding thousands of leads for local businesses and laying the groundwork for the current expansion.
