why you use yahoo

[MrPJH]

why you use yahoo search engine when there beheaver is so strange
let me describe

asker asked on answers dot yahoo
"best company to hire for web design"

i suggested
it ll be better if you hire some one individual or team via outsource company and mentioned some webs like elance etc
my answer was reported against TOS by yahoo team

and on same type of question i suggested to use yahoo and with a no vote and no asker pick they declared as best answer and even placed it on yahoo small business also......

i am at level 3 on yahoo answers and i know what there TOS is and my first answer was not against TOS

it means yahoo don't like to hear about any other web

[MrRiccur]

I don't use the yahoo search engine. I don't really know anyone that does use the search engine. I use yahoo mostly just for yahoo answers.

[Ventus]

Google is mainly used these days, use google!

[lkclai]

I use yahoo since 1995 and at the moment I in rank 2 in yahoo answer. I just started last month and I able to meet a lot of friends and visitor to my blog.

[JanetBandivas]

I used both Search Engine-Google and Yahoo, when i am doing searches.
Bing(for my image search, and check the daily Background they have.)
I see good results of searches from Google and yahoo also gives it best

[player82]

I use yahoo rarely, google is enough.

[AHCAROS]

Ever wonder why people use Yahoo answers to get important medical help?

[Surat]

Well i'm using yahoo for just IM.

[hello_welcome]

yahoo is used here only for messenger :)

[itsallwhite]

You can't overlook Yahoo as a tool for promoting websites however I agree the results can be a bit 'off' sometimes, I also personally find it very hard to get my website up the rankings in Yahoo

[ralfy_tm]

I use yahoo only for IM, I don't use it for something else because it's full of ads. Google is number 1 , no ads, simple and very good :)

[asanka000]

i never use yahoo. use bing or google

[sakto]

I barely use Yahoo as a search engine but I do use them for checking some movies and actors information.

[emofree]

well before when google isn't around yet or isn't born yet I use yahoo and altavista. When google is born things went on differently. I rarely use yahoo right now to check my yahoo mail and flickr since flickr is an affiliate of yahoo.

[PPAgent01]

I'm goona go around and tell a little tale on this one, i used to use Yahoo back in the day when Google was still being developed into something nice, however as of recent after doing a blind search using all three SE's it turns out the Yahoo is actually progressing alot more then any of the other search engines out there today.

[Selena21]

I think yahoo is as a search engine used after Google. Google and yahoo both have different algorithm and they both have their own importance. Mainly, google is used all over the world but that is also fact after google yahoo comes next.

[PPAgent01]

That could be a point of discussion mostly due to the fact that as of recent Bing has started capturing a large market share, and i'm quite certain of the fact that later on it'll over take Yahoo and if it's worked hard enough upon it'll probably come close to taking down Google as well

[PPAgent01]

I've mentioned in other threads before, the fact of the matter is Yahoo is one of the few search engines actually used for searching not just correcting our spelling mistakes :P

[draxima]

The only downpart in my experience while searching through the yahoo search engine is the added spam links in different keywords. Somedays they are fewer some days more. Probably that's why I dont search on yahoo everyday!

[Traffic-Bug]

In my opinion, Yahoo is much more tolerable to commercial activity than Google. Google doesnt allow edecutable attachments even in email.

[PPAgent01]

Well the same could be said for Google, the main problem with Google is that it's overloaded with a lot of blogs using the right keywords :P I cant even find mp3's like i used to with google lol

[x.marty.x]

I've never used Yahoo, I think Google is better (more relevent) and definitely faster.

[laguna1811]

I only use yahoo for their email and yahoo answer.
Not really into their search engine. Google is a lot better.

[EvcRo]

probably some people in USA use yahoo as its part of a dedicated targeted usa company.

[purnachender]

I like to use yahoo but prefer google.

[Rizwankhan]

Google.com is so simple and fast loading.... and we are so much used to it that when ever some thing comes in mind we just type google and search it .... that means google is in our subconscious

[gurujesus]

i like google its simple and wonderful.Just visit yahoo home page they made money out of everything they sold every pixel of their home page like naukri.I hate it

[sahabcse]

reading news, check mail but mainly I am using google

[Andrewjoh2009]

I only use yahoo site explorer and yahoo answers to post answers to questions within my niche. Otherwise, I think yahoo is useless, but there are people out there who still uses them simply because they started their email there years back.

[dynashox]

I don't use Yahoo search engine this day. I only use Yahoo Mail.

- Dynashox -

[gr8liverpoolfan]

In some parts of the world, Yahoo is more widely used than Google.

The Far Eastern countries are an example of this.

[AskTheTrainer]

I seriously use it for nothing.

When I open a news story I will immediately find it from another source. When I accidentally use yahoo search, I will re-search on google.

I don't know why, it's just garbage. I've been using messenger forever so it stays but that's about it.

[anamaria2513]

I think yahoo is good, google is the best.I use yahoo only for email .

[PPAgent01]

It's been a debate that'll go on for the next few millenniums the reason being, that people will keep arguing about which SE is better, personaly the one thing that i'd like to mention is that Google is good for someone looking for some information quickly on the web, whereas Yahoo, well thats for those looking for that extra grain of detail IMO :)

[seoguyla]

I never use Yahoo search engine, but I use yahoo mail and yahoo finance!

[PPAgent01]

But you do wind up Using Yahoo :P That's the thing :D

[maheshkapshikar]

I think Yahoo is more beneficial than Google**. Because as per experience in lead generation through search engines. But if you consider other activities which offered by Yahoo these are awesome...

[wb_man]

I don't use Yahoo search engine. I use Yahoo for news and email.

[neena22]

i do not use yahoo search.google is a good search engine.
google is used mostly by people and then ask and msn/ping are in.

[dhana_space2]

Google gives better search results..sometimes.

[Sheikh Ahsan]

Hello everyone,

Google is no doubt the largest search engine of the world but now BING is taking over it and has attracted many search users. Soon it will going to cross yahoo, google and will be on top.
I dont use yahoo search engine or messenger as yahoo search enginer is not so specific as I find google but now bing. As far we are concerned which one is the top thats GOOGLE at current and in future it will be BING.
We can hope for the best thats it.

Enjoy,
Cheers!

[rypher21]

most of the time im using google..yahoo, is just my second option :D

[Rituja]

I use google enough & yahoo for Answearing.

[joelchrist]

My preference always for google. i jus using yahoo for yahoo answers and to read yahoo news.

[xBHx]

Google FTW!

[MrPJH]

most people use Google but in Asia most people still use yahoo but mainly for IM n chat

[lifeplayer]

Yahoo is not good on managing their site. Therefore, i use only their email, not more than that

[rajagiri5]

i never use the yahoo search engine.nowadays,google is very reach to people.

[Wayne Tully]

This could be someone else who uses the site, they may have flagged your answer because they can, this type of rating and flagging system is flawed in that way, but don't worry about it!

[revisitors]

i used yahoo only for messenger

[swiftsaves]

i only use yahoo answers .

[eLeSlash]

I dont use yahoo , just use google.

[MrPJH]

i like mamma and as bing a new but becoming famous so i think bing ll lead

[goldenbrowngod]

I use google for search. I use Yahoo for their groups, answers and news items that catch my attention when I sign in

[BadBoyzStudioZ]

Yeah really... Good question. Yahoo is the lamest company on the block. Their search engine, if that's what you want to call it, is worthless. Don't even get me started on their "Small Business" junk. It takes them and hour and twenty minutes of blah, blah to address a 15 second issue. I don't see them hanging on that much longer unless someone really reworks their business model.

[neonguy528]

I only use Google. Like most

[hostinghelp24]

I prefer Google for searching,But yahoo's speed is more faster than Google.

[bluebelt91]

I never use yahoo..google is my favourite..

[larryatdp]

I use yahoo as a portal and my homepage. So I usually use yahoo to search things first. If I can't find what I need, I will go to google.

[tharshan]

yeah,
sometimes they sucks !
i use yahoo mail and yahoo answers too.
not using Yahoo Search much.. Google always seems better.

www.answerg.com looks better.lol

thanks.

[hbl]

I like yahoo answers

[taiko78]

Sometimes, i sell affiliate better from yahoo search than google..
maybe it depend on your country

[PLAYMATE]

I use yahoo for email, answers, little search

[UpL0ad3R]

I'm not even using Yahoo! ... Google FTW!

[sparkeee]

i don't care for yahoo, i think less and less people using yahoo nowadays.

[nileshmishra]

Well, I dunno how yahoo answers work in terms of allocating the best answer but it ranks wonderfully in google itself better than most answer forums..

[Sheikh Ahsan]

For surfing I use google a lot, infact all the times but when it comes for answering i use yahoo! As yahoo answers are well managed!

[Komicwords]

I use yahoo because the email,I have use at last 10 years,but since the first time I use it maybe I just click there ads only 10 times

[Adeleon]

When google fails for me I use yahoo it gives good result sometimes. So I would prefer to use yahoo sometimes

[Spirit Walker]

Yahoo is mainly used for Mails and Answers, its search results are very Poor. And now the are shutting GeoCities.

[usman.gaggo2]

I use google only for IM and answers.
My search engine was yahoo by defualt but now i am thinking to change it.
Some time the behaviour of yahoo becomes so strange that it becomes hard for me to understand my searches.

[mpreyesmr]

I used to use yahoo, but once I went into business, I only use Google.

[gbit]

Yahoo Answer is waste of time and nothing else.

[bpled]

For yahoo answers.

[asdirc]

i use yahoo for ym . the best in my opinion till present and most popular. and google as search engine- the most used

[Razorloq]

I use Yahoo for EXPLOITATIONS.

[gukguks]

still using yahoo for e-mail and YM
i think YM still the best

[MoneyNowUsa09]

I think, most users use yahoo for IM's and Mails, while others use Google as their search engine. Because Google is more accessible and user friendly when it comes to searches.

[seo-neon]

That's because it's where I send my classifieds...

[teckinik]

I never use yahoo search but do use yahoo search marketing.

[Sheikh Ahsan]

Yes exactly, moneynowusa09 people use google just for search engine but yahoo is also used bt for very few purposes... answering, yellow pages and emails stuff... :)

[martin luther]

I use only Yahoo answer now i am on level 2 but i am not sure why my question deleted by yahoo i have mailed to yahoo team but i did not get any answer...

[unknown101]

personally i just like it better then google.

[EC23]

I seldom use yahoo to be honest man.

[jisco]

I like yahoo!
Because I is very difficult to find new websites through google.
Always show old websites.

[newlogo]

i m mainly used yahoo for email

[usdevelopersjournal]

Google service better than yahoo. i use google.

[MrPJH]

:D MrPJH back after Banned for 7 days

[gooney]

when i want to search something, i use google n yahoo search engine..
i think both of them are good search engine..

[ManagingDog]

for checking backlinks

[arslan2201]

you think bing will cross google.

[christyzen]

MY first preference for google. But i am also use yahoo for finding my keywords positions in it.

[bobchrist]

I think Yahoo search is losing the search share because as per recent deal between Microsoft & Yahoo it indicate that "Bing will be Yahoo's default search engine", here is the latest update. http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=138177

[SabQat]

you may be right. it is nearly impossible to overtake google in next few years.
as google provides too many services for webmaster as analytics ,ad maneger toolkit, webmaster tool etc.

i.w. webowner prefer to recommend google as best. also search someting porn related on bing & you will see no result.

[Luke Beale]

I tried Yahoo search for a bit but found that Google was much better.

[neotester]

I use Google for their search engine mostly. The other services I'm using are Gmail, Google Reader, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and from time to time Google Docs since the company where I work deals with Google Docs.

I use Yahoo! for their Messenger and lately I hardly signed on.
That's it.

[benniestark1222]

I don't really use Yahoo! search much, but I do use their mail.

I have been using yahoo mail since 2000, so I guess that made me very loyal to their mail service.

[RWillis]

Yahoo is still the best!..(I mean for mails only). I don't use Yahoo as search engine, I think Google is more accurate than the others.

[tani]

the yahoo search engine is great but google is better. yahoo is good to get answers

[revisitors]

i am using yahoo for searching, but google is the best search web,..

[arslan2201]

i use yahoo for checking mail and searching the web.

[gvorce001]

i use yohoo for email only

[3Satrs]

Social Bookmarking is a powerful tool for indexing.You can search about any type of news. Social bookmarking and social news allow you to specifically target what you want to see. Instead of going into a search engine, typing something in, and then searching for that needle in a haystack, you can quickly narrow down the items to what you are looking for.

[3Satrs]

Yahoo provides god services

[suman817]

I really don't know whether their behavior is strange or what. I don't use Yahoo Search. But I visit mostly Yahoo Answers and use Yahoo Mail.

[xphiletc]

[newlogo]

i am used yahoo for mail purpose.

[emofree]

i don't know why yahoo seems to be older than google and yet most of us targets google. yahoo is really also known for there good articles.

[hostinghelp24]

Actually Yahoo search quality is really poor. Google is far far better.

[bugzy]

I'm using it because of yahoo mail and yahoo messenger :D

[cynthiavictor]

if you want to check your back links yahoo search engine is best to find out.

[besttaste]

I use yahoo because our company Best Kiteboarding has cooperation with them about providing email service.

[Fracker]

My oldest email address is on Yahoo.. so i use it for that...

[mrpaisa]

I use yahoo but not for searching. I use yahoo following services :---
Celebrity news - omg.yahoo.com

For Videos - videos.yahoo.com

[dreamsbox]

I think google is better than yahoo as google is simple

[Deus Ex]

Just focusing on the Tos - I'm sure your post just got flagged from a web enemy - posting on sites like yahoo answers builds your smm profile due to your yahoo answers profile

[mitnitwer]

[linkfrommysite]

I use Yahoo only for IM ...

[bia]

Just focusing on the Tos - I'm sure your post just got flagged from a web enemy - posting on sites like yahoo answers builds your smm profile due to your yahoo answers profile

i think no he have not linked any of his profile
//
any way yes i don't like yahoo but Google is going more funny day by day only there search terms are some better but there are some other search engines more powerful then Google but they have not any thing in there pocket i mean no investment

[Marcag]

I like Google because it's simple and for every holiday (Christmas, New Year) they have new logo on the site...

[EpicServices]

I DONT use Yahoo because they deactivate all of my accounts for no apparent reason

[syd13]

iam using yahoo,, only because ymail :D

[Marcag]

I think google offers better mail service, it's more functional, has bigger space every minute and really fast.

[RBN]

Yahoo mail & yahoo answers here, i hate yahoo search :p

[easyquotedirect]

i used yahoo for messenger and mail only

[pcplaystation@gmail.com]

yahoo is good for the chat rooms :)
no other provider can provide group chatting wid strangers :)

[MrPJH]

actually my aim was to know if you have faced anything during using yahoo services ???

[wallsinn]

i love yahoo mail and messenger that's why i prefer yahoo on google & msn. Moreover its very easy to handle.

[seonews]

Sometimes I use Yahoo to compare with Google. I usually use Yahoo for chat on Yahoo Messenger and checking Email.

[sunya_skywalker]

long time I used yahoo.Today google only.

[infotech rules]

Well i'd say yahoo mail is more convenenient because of the news thing, you can be online from the mail as well and even checking mails could be done at the same time. So it is time saving and goal oriented..!!

[ByteHunter]

I like Yahoo messenger. I would use gmail if they would have any client but they don`t have so I use Yahoo. BTW google is much better as a search engine but not as IM. :P

[Antology]

I use Yahoo! Mail only...not like search engine. Their mail service is really good and I like it more then any other, but search engine is not simple like Google`s.

[YugoSlavac]

I hate their email service. I love the simplicity of Gmail. It's simple and fast. That's all you need for a quality email service :)

Yugo,

[Frost1]

I only use yahoo to see if the search engine indexed my website's link on it, ;)

I don't really use it to search for information, ect... ( That's why I have google for )

Also, I use yahoo to create email accounts.

[internet_marketing_fun]

I think the major search engines return similar results, bing is cool with the changing image each day but Google is cool cause its so simple

[masimf]

For email,yahoo answers, weather, finance etc

[kleansygister]

I use yahoo to check my links:). But I do love using YM ever since aside from skype. Yahoo was the beginning and I knew everybody would not forget.
