I was amazed when i got to know that yahoo have more that 3860 subdomains and google have just about 350-400 Don't believe me? See here: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/yahoo.com/subdomains/ What do you say??
I guess they just make alot of subdomains... i use more subfolders myself, but might make a subdomain today now that im thinking about it lol
I guess thats true. Yahoo have more visitors compare to Google. You can check it in Alexa but their Search engine is not as good compare to Google
I didn't know that. I thought they have less. I like it this subdomain from yahoo > http://buzz.yahoo.com/
And that's the only reason they top on alexa rankings, cause all their sub domains brings traffic to one domain. But this is huge, seriously!
That is so very much true!! I myself use a lot..one of their sub-domain....i.e. finance.yahoo.com Regards, RightMan
Yahoo! have a hell of a lot of sub-programmes... This was the only chance they had of topping google... And in some departments, they top google (Yahoo! Answers etc..).. But Google is still the #1 SE imo. 8) Chuckun
Infact google has more visits (137M) compared to yahoo (124M), check this out.. http://www.quantcast.com/top-sites-1
Well, from the first day Yahoo was introduced, they have continued adding newer better sections to their web portal for people from all over the world visiting and this means traffic. No wonder they have so many subdomains and they will continue doing this as they expand their web services.
that's a lot of subdomains. if only they could figure out how to direct all of that to one source, then they'd be an even bigger portal
Yahoo has a lot more projects, both new and old. I'm sure they just forget to erase some of them when the project dies.
