Google trying to spoil the Yahoo/Microsoft Party?

Google have signed a deal with Yahoo to place Google Adwords ads in Yahoo’s search results for a two week trial period. During the trial period up to 3% of the ads served on Yahoo will be from Google.

It’s thought that the move is designed to frustrate Microsofts attempts to purchase Yahoo, or to try and raise the asking price.

In a related move Microsoft were reported to be discussing a joint move for Yahoo with News Corp, who had previously ruled out working with Yahoo to block Microsoft’s offer.
