    I believe the way things have evolved Google is more known for quality search results and Yahoo is more known for a content site. Eg, if you want to watch a movie trailer you go to Yahoo Movies. You want stock reports you go to Yahoo finance. Yahoo is great at being a content provider, that's its niche since Google far surpassed Yahoo for searching.

    Google is a better search engine, it has a much easier user navigation, and fast & good search results.

    Thanks,

    I did not compare google to yahoo,i use google a lot,just find it is okay,if i use yahoo,i think it also should be okay for me,so both yahoo and google should be enough for me.So the answer for the question is that most people do not know yahoo,they just use google too much.

    we can't deny about Yahoo that's a really good search engine. But what the real fact about Google is more exposure for your website, more reliability on search keywords and nice tactics on company advertisements.

    I think, Google Know better how to attract visitors.

    One thing I like the best in Google search page is the simplicity and Yahoo has a glitter page , may be that could also be one of reason for Google to be more shiny than Yahoo

    Have any of you ever tried to transfer a domain from Yahoo? Or asked them to not mark your business domain email as bulk? It's like working with molasses in the winter. I have had several bad experiences with Yahoo, and Google hasn't done me wrong yet.

    The pertinent direct comparisons I can personally make between Google and Yahoo (or Yahell as I like to call them) is with advertising, personal email, and sending business email to Yahoo/Google customers. Here's my $0.02 worth of experience:

    * advertising on the Yahoo side was *slightly* better because of some of the graphing features they offered

    * I think that Yahoo's personal email is a little overly aggressive in its effort to protect the end user from spam. When I used Yahoo mail I was constantly having to dig through my bulk folder and retrieve valid emails. If I only chose to mark the emails as "not bulk" instead of adding the address to my contacts, then it would take up to 5 iterations of marking that sender as valid and prevent it from going into the bulk folder. Yeah, I know - shoulda just added them....

    * If you own a small company, send only a few emails to Yahoo customers a month, and try to get your emails from being sent to the bulk folder - forget it with Yahoo. Gmail is MUCH easier in this area.

    I spent three months trying to get Yahoo to keep our business emails from going into the bulk folder. I filled out their forms, I added domain keys (both new and old versions), I sent examples of the emails we send, I sent them the original headers from an email in a bulk folder, I stated that we get our email address ONLY from our customers, etc. Whatever they asked of me, they got. They analysed our emails for about three weeks then came back to me and said that since I didn't get *any* complaints and I didn't send *enough* email that the emails must be going into the right folder and they wouldn't whitelist us. So...our emails are being marked as bulk because we don't send enough email and we haven't had any complaints. That makes sense.

    With Google I just had to add an spf record which worked almost instantly.

    Of course, take my opinions with a grain of salt - your experience may be different with them. I'm just relaying my personal experience between the two.
