The deal does not include an upfront payment from Microsoft, but will revolve around ad-sales revenue sharing, the WSJ's Kara Swisher reported on All Things Digital. The two companies are expected to announce the agreement within 24 hours.
As previously reported, the Microsoft-Yahoo deal involves using Microsoft's search technology to power Yahoo search, Swisher writes. Yahoo would be able to sell ads on both Yahoo and Microsoft's search engine, Bing, and get a substantial cut of ad revenue.
Microsoft declined to confirm or comment. Yahoo did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
