Google inks deal with AP

Cory Bergman July 30th, 2006

Earlier this year, Google quietly did a deal with the Associated Press, one of more than 50 agreements AP CEO Tom Curley has obtained from Internet players since 2003. While it’s unclear how the Google deal is arranged, PaidContent’s Rafat Ali speculates, “It could be on the basis of how may people click on AP stories on the Google News topic index pages, according to some sources I’ve spoken to, though I have not been able to verify that.”
