Writing for Search Engine Land recently, search engine optimisation expert Galen DeYoung summed it up quite succinctly. "While things may look good on the surface of a blog, a look under the hood can reveal significant roadblocks to achieving the SEO success you've been seeking," he said.

What he was getting at, is you can publish top quality, keyword specific content on your corporate site until the cows come home, but if that very same site is not geared towards attracting Google's web crawlers, the blog will remain un-indexed and no one will ever stumble across it - the abject opposite of search marketing.

Full Story: Yahoo Agrees To Buy Associated Content >YHOO - Wall Street Journal

The deal comes as another mass content company, Demand Media, is reportedly preparing for a mega-bucks IPO. While both Demand Media and Associated Content have been frequently mentioned as possible acquisition targets, talk had died down in recent months and the Yahoo deal caught industry players by surprise.

Associated Content was founded four years ago and had raised more than $21 million in funding from investors including SoftBank Capital, Canaan Partners and AOL ( NYSE: AOL ) CEO Tim Armstrong. Armstrong, who owns roughly 20 percent,  backed the company when he was working at Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) but was allowed to keep his holdings in Associated Content when he moved on. At AOL, Armstrong has started his own Associated Content-like content initiative, Seed.com.

Associated Content syndicates its content to sites across the web and it seems as though at least for now those deals will stand, with the company saying in a Q&A about the deal that it will continue to operate “as is”—albeit with the introduction of new staff to build it out and the Yahoo sites as content destinations.
