    Do you think, time will come that Yahoo! would surpassed Google? How? Do you think dropping Microsoft offer would consider as good idea?

    Yes, if you're shopping Yahoo is not very good. British and American results get muddled together. Live has the same problem.

    They should start using some black hat SEO and change their spammy looking front page

    Google captured market share by providing something better. Yahoo or Microsoft could do the same.

    I think yahoo would do better if Microsoft purchased it only then yahoo may have a chance of
    competing with google.

    I think there will be a time when Google faces a new competitor, as for Yahoo i dont think there is much they can do at the very point of time.

    The only thing I can think Yahoo could do is to lessen the clutter on their main page. Google has a nice and simple interface, which encourages me to use it. With Yahoo everything is in one place. Think of it like this, Google is a tabbed filing cabinet and when you need something, you just pick the right tab and get it right out. Yahoo is more like a folder with all the papers contained in that one folder. It's a lot harder to get what you need done with Yahoo as opposed to Google. Also Google seems to provide more relevant links than Yahoo when searching for something.

    For me dropping microsoft offer is not bad idea, Yahoo! can stand without microsoft... and for sure microsoft will just turns yahoo into their Search profitable scheme that might lead yahoo to lose the game. See google's philosophy, although some qualities yahoo already have, they need to develop further.

    Yahoo has a LOT of good web properties, such as Yahoo finance, Yahoo Answer. So, it should just hold on to those and also its powerful search service. Should pick right back up when the bad time is over.

    Beat Google at what? Search? Never! Page views? Given Google's continuing to add tools, content, etc..., I'd say that day, too, has passed.
