Why is Yahoo number one in Alexa?

Yeah - pay a huge amount of money to advertise with them

 

Does anyone know how many hits Yahoo gets per day?

 

gmail redirects to http://mail.google.com which means it is hosted on the google domain

 

lol i am gonna be the odd one out and say its..
Rigged!

Alexa is getting paid by yahoo to put their site up there lol

 

According to Compete.com, Yahoo gets around 4.3 million visits daily.

 

Yahoo got a lot of stuff to bring them traffic.

 

Well I have been to asia, and everyone (or maybe 90%) use Yahoo! Mail when I was there. And Asia is a very big continent.

 

Voilà...you see yahoo is crap?
Nah just a joke

But yeah in my eyes it's just because everything is on yahoo.com domain...
But really EVERYTHING

If yahoo would make; yahoo.be , yahoo.nl , yahoo.cn etc.. you would see their rankings decrease like hell...

See alexa for google.nl for example... it's very high, so if you would count ALL those numbers together.. google would be 19884984 times yahoo..

Greetz

 

Alexa is a bit weird but definitely Yahoo receives the most traffic from their email service.

 

4.3m!?

I could've sworn that I've heard google are receiving around 13m searches a day, but I suppose that could be merely searches, not searchers

I wish I got 4.3m to my freaking site!

 

they have the biggest traffic in the world. yahoo is not just a search engine .... that`s why

 

still people used yahoo most of the services and dont forget yahoo itself brand name in market

It is because, google has many TLDs like .co.in, .co.uk and many more which are not counted in Google.com's traffic, but yahoo has only one TLD .com, with different subdomains for different countries, so no matter from where a visitor is coming, he is counted to be on yahoo.com

 

Because Yahoo has the highest number of visitors that use the Alexa toolbar

 

Ohh, really
I didnt know that china prefers Yahoo
Thanks for this info

 

yahoo emails sucks, msn email sucks more. Gmail sucks less but does suck.

 

That happens because Yahoo! is more popular than Google or than any other place on the internet. Just imagine how many services Yahoo! offers (mail, messenger, search, answers, news...) and how many people visit their services. Just don't tell me you don't use any Yahoo! service at all...
Yahoo! was even born earlier than Google with about 1 year (that is much in the internet life).

 

I agree with post #55.
I think Google would beat Yahoo! if youtube get under the Google domain. I mean something like youtube.google.com
