For example, if I use Yahoo to search the web for books for sale and one of the results of the search is Amazon.com, does Yahoo get money from the Amazon Company if I click on Amazon.com?

Sounds like a copyright violation to me, if not an outright scam.\n\nI would avoid sending them any money.  Any site with the word "yahoo" in the URL is going to get sued, much less this one which is an obvious try to get people to send money.\n\nWonder if there's a way to let PayPal know they're being scammed?

yes, they do, and it can be more depending on how much information.  It is 7 dollars for a standard search but you should know whethere you paid..,you would havee entered your credit card number

I'd don't have much experience with Yahoo! Auctions, but you can find it at:\nhttp://auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/

CoolV (previous answer) is right. Google makes money by its Google ads.\n\nWhen you do a search on sneakers for examples, 8 companies have paid google to be listed on the right.. beside the FREE results for sneakers. \n\nIts good for google (income), and its good for companies because people who are interested in your product are looking at thier link. Its money well spend on thier part.

Pay lots of money.  Google rates their advertisers first.  Yahoo sells the ads space on the sides, top and bottom banner of the search page as does Ask and Alta Vista.

No, sorry, no money is involved. Had that been the case, many people may have gotten rich for their wealthy contributions to the site. However, it is true that you get a thank you from Yahoo! but it is a thank you that you merely imagine to yourself.\n\nOverall, your reward is simply the thought that you may have enlightened someone's day by helping them in their question.

First of all, Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns by placing these same text ads on your site.  In other words, you're helping Google advertise.\n\nThe program is called Adsense.\n   Every website owner should be involved in this.  It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up.  Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with Adsense -- or at least enough to fund your website.\n  So if you are one of those people that don't like the idea of paying for a site, this is an excellent way to earn your money back and then some.\nHow Adsense Works\n   If you go to Google.com and do a search for almost any keyword phrase, you'll notice some "Sponsored Links" that appear on the right side of the screen that are relevant to the keywords you just searched for.\nWebsite owners pay Google to display these ads and are charged a predetermined amount every time their ad gets clicked by a web surfer. With the Adsense program, you will display these same text ads on your site just like Google and get paid for it as well.  \n   All you do is copy and paste some provided HTML code into your pages and Voila! the ads will show up. Every time an ad is clicked on your site, you will receive a certain percentage of what Google receives from the advertiser.\n   Once your account reaches $100, you'll receive a check in the mail.\n\n\nPlus Hetrp googles search are done on a page range system, not by a human system like yahoo, and msn which can be persuade by money from companys.

I think people who sell used stuff just send it themselves to whoever buys it.  Amazon just provides the website to sell through.

Can you request a receipt on Yahoo?\n\nIn which case when they open it - they have to click to say whether they have read it or not....

Google isn't the only search engine to have done this. The government has requested that same info from other ones as well, Yahoo included. Plus it's not a constant thing, it's random samplings. In fact, google was the last to do it, and they were in the news for not doing it.

Google will pay you a few cents for every hit. They are as genuine as it gets. We get paid by them without any quibbles.

There are search engines like this and there is a firefox extention which does something simaler to this.  I would not trust this because companies would higher companies to have bots vote for them.

Yahoo didn't sell us out to the government.  A court order is a court order.  Yahoo can only comply to give out the search engine information that they requested. But don't forget, this is happening on all sites and you just need to be cautious on what you search for and how you do it, that's all. \n\nYahoo has a very strict privacy policy and will uphold this when it comes to our personal information.  Department of Justice subpeona was for search engine info only, and that's all they get.

If you are talking about pay per click advertising (Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing), you don't want "hits." You want clicks that resolve in sales conversions.\n\nIn my experience, Google far outperforms Yahoo in terms of volume of clicks and conversions. We blow through our Google budget 3-4x faster than Yahoo and the leads are slightly higher quality.\n\nDon't even bother with MSN or Ask. They don't have their acts together yet.\n\nGood luck!

You pay a fee for example to Yahoo and they post it there!
