    Yahoo more based on content

    Google on backlinks

    Both are more based on content, that's wrong!

    Also, what is the difference between Mercedes and Porsche? It's like two different companies doing the same thing, but since both are very popular, believe me their methods are 90% identical.

    Google crawls the web to return result, while Yahoo is a directory based search engine.

    My dear friend

    Google

    Google has a philosophy of keeping things simple so that people who are technically challenged can use it without getting confused. So Google is strongly associated with simplicity, usefulness, pages that load fast (in one word: text). Google looks simple and elegant. Google is more thoughtful and strategic. Google concentrates on value added solutions rather than presentation

    Yahoo

    Yahoo believes in feature rich application and their products are more customizable and complex. Yahoo has tons of media and ADS (loads slower). Google search is better (faster) only text ads. Yahoo looks hip and colorful. Yahoo is flamboyant and more reactive. Yahoo concentrates on superb presentation followed by value creation. Yahoo is connected with rich interfaces, complex designs, pages that load slowly (in one word: multimedia). gags even called Yahoo flamboyant, which means "elaborately and heavily ornamented


    Conclusion :


    It's a difficult one to answer since both companies are positioned very very differently. It will be interesting to see if the acquisitions of YouTube and DoubleClick will change people's perception about Google.

    Cool Mate and Enjoy your day
