The news comesÂ days after Google forged a separate deal with MTV networks to syndicate content from the music video station to websites and blogs.  Under the terms of the deal, Google willÂ pay News Corporation, which owns MySpace,Â at least $900 million in revenue-sharing payments over nearly four years.  News Corporation's Fox Interactive Media unit said it will add Google search boxes to MySpace and other sitesÂ with the aim ofÂ discouraging people from leaving the website.  Fox executives said that the main reason users left the MySpace site was to conduct searches on Google.  TheÂ new deal would let MySpace users enter searchÂ queries directly on the site, allowing it to retain visitors longer and boost its advertising potential, they said.  Google in turn will provide search results and keyword advertisements targeted to people's search terms, probably by the end of the year.  Peter Chernin, president of News Corporation, said that theÂ deal would probably be the first ofÂ several between the two companies.
