Google and Yahoo! Search Marketing will offer credits to Verio's shared hosting, e-commerce, virtual private server and managed private server customers, who can use these credits to set up accounts and create their advertising campaigns directly with Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing.

Both Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing - originally known as Overture - offer pay-per-click advertising. AdWords distributes links through a network of content sites, while Yahoo! Search Marketing results are displayed in search engine results.

"Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing solutions give our customers easy-to-use, cost-effective ways to promote their businesses online," says David Chao, vice president of product management at Verio. "These tools complement our award-winning global hosting solutions by enabling customers to focus on their business with hosting peace of mind guaranteed."
