Search Engine Optimisation:Google replaces Yahoo as T-Mobile's default search engine


Competition has been stoked in the mobile search engine optimisation (SEO) sector with the announcement that Google is to replace Yahoo as T-Mobile's default search engine.The news comes just days after iPhone carrier AT&T said it had chosen Yahoo as the default search engine for the Android-based Motorola Backflip, eWeek reports.While T-Mobile USA has replaced Yahoo with Google as its default search engine on mobile phones such as RIM BlackBerrys, some Yahoo-based services will continue to work on T-Mobile, including Yahoo Mail and Yahoo messenger.A Yahoo spokesperson stressed that T-Mobile and Yahoo would continue to work together on content services such as Yahoo News, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Flickr and weather on T-Mobile's Web2Go portal.However, the portal itself - which provides search services to non-smartphone internet users - will now be powered by Google.
