I'm sure it will be minimal, at least in its current form. I think the value to Yahoo! is to keep people hanging around their portal, and to add value to the brand. They might start selling ads targeted at keywords in the questions (i.e., ask a question about hotels in NYC and you get ads from hotels in NYC), but that would take a while to really make money, and I doubt it would ever become a real cash cow for them.

Email marketing is much more powerful than advertising somewhere on a webpage, because, it directly hits the person and he/she must pays a visit to the product.\nemail marketing also trigger more visitors than simple pay per click advertisements.\nThe chances of a visitor may buy a product is 40:1, where is in the direct advertisement 300:1 may be more.\nThat's why all good website owners market through emails.\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

That's very simple.  Google has certain features which yahoo doesn't e.g. a 2+ GB mailbox compared to Yahoo's 1 GB, etc.  Getting to know those features isn't difficult.  And then, imbibe the advantages of those features.\n\nAnother thing-- ask the customers what they want in Google (it might not be in Yahoo either) and set that up in Yahoo., e.g. people want methods to forward multiple emails at the same time.\n\nAll this is possible, but are you working for Yahoo? or have some enmity with Google? ha ha ha

Yahoo is a publicly traded company (on the stock market).  They have a fiduciary duty to show a return on equity for their shareholders.  All advertising can be broken down simply into eyeballs. The more eyeballs, the more money, advertisers would be willing to pay for spots reaching the eyeballs.\nAs I type this, there are no advertisements on the page, YET.  Believe me, at some future point, Yahoo will be selling advertisements on the side of these answer blogs to potential clients.  Yahoo's sales presentation will include the number of users, demographic info. on the users (compiled from our registrations), and time spent reading and answering these questions.  It'll result in another online revenue stream for the company. In the corporate world, it is almost always about the money.

As stated above, I don't think Yahoo is concerned with the Internet Browser market.  What many Internet companies are focasing on now is the concept of the "run from anywhere" application.  Look for example at the Yahoo Mail Beta interface... looks a lot like something you'd see with a desktop mail application.  I see Yahoo expanding with "office-like" applications, especially now that Google has hinted at their development of such things, plus the possibility for unlimited online storage!

Yahoo! began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things. The two founders of Yahoo!, David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, started their guide in a campus trailer in February 1994 as a way to keep track of their personal interests on the Internet. Before long they were spending more time on their home-brewed lists of favorite links than on their doctoral dissertations. Eventually, Jerry and David's lists became too long and unwieldy, and they broke them out into categories. When the categories became too full, they developed subcategories ... and the core concept behind Yahoo! was born.\n\nThe Web site started out as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" but eventually received a new moniker with the help of a dictionary. The name Yahoo! is an acronym for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle," but Filo and Yang insist they selected the name because they liked the general definition of a yahoo: "rude, unsophisticated, uncouth." Yahoo! itself first resided on Yang's student workstation, "Akebono," while the software was lodged on Filo's computer, "Konishiki" - both named after legendary sumo wrestlers.\n\nJerry and David soon found they were not alone in wanting a single place to find useful Web sites. Before long, hundreds of people were accessing their guide from well beyond the Stanford trailer. Word spread from friends to what quickly became a significant, loyal audience throughout the closely-knit Internet community. Yahoo! celebrated its first million-hit day in the fall of 1994, translating to almost 100 thousand unique visitors.\n\nDue to the torrent of traffic and enthusiastic reception Yahoo! was receiving, the founders knew they had a potential business on their hands. In March 1995, the pair incorporated the business and met with dozens of Silicon Valley venture capitalists. They eventually came across Sequoia Capital, the well-regarded firm whose most successful investments included Apple Computer, Atari, Oracle and Cisco Systems. They agreed to fund Yahoo! in April 1995 with an initial investment of nearly $2 million.\n\nRealizing their new company had the potential to grow quickly, Jerry and David began to shop for a management team. They hired Tim Koogle, a veteran of Motorola and an alumnus of the Stanford engineering department, as chief executive officer and Jeffrey Mallett, founder of Novell's WordPerfect consumer division, as chief operating officer. They secured a second round of funding in Fall 1995 from investors Reuters Ltd. and Softbank. Yahoo! launched a highly-successful IPO in April 1996 with a total of 49 employees.\n\nToday, Yahoo! Inc. is a leading global Internet communications, commerce and media company that offers a comprehensive branded network of services to more than 345 million individuals each month worldwide. As the first online navigational guide to the Web, www.yahoo.com is the leading guide in terms of traffic, advertising, household and business user reach. Yahoo! is the No. 1 Internet brand globally and reaches the largest audience worldwide. The company also provides online business and enterprise services designed to enhance the productivity and Web presence of Yahoo!'s clients. These services include Corporate Yahoo!, a popular customized enterprise portal solution; audio and video streaming; store hosting and management; and Web site tools and services. The company's global Web network includes 25 World properties. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, Calif., Yahoo! has offices in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Australia, Canada and the United States.

I think Google already beats Yahoo - I prefer Google for searches and gmail and groups, Yahoo is more social- like this and games. Yahoo mail pales to gmail. Also Yahoo is more flashy with many more distracting ads - I do not like that!\n\nGoogle for business, Yahoo when I have time to waste

It dependds on the services provided, but the company that benefits will likely have established a good web presence (i.e. good website) and a good online advertising campaign.  The business probably chose the right advertising channel and medium.  I.e. if it's a local business then it advertises on something like Yahoo! Local.  If it's a nationwide business, then something like Yahoo! Search Marketing or Google would work best. Having the right presence and the properly targeted advertising/marketing campaign is key.  And of course...at the end of the day, the company should satisfy its customers.
