    I just saw the thread 2 forums below this one and believe that if Yahoo paid good rates per search, they could survive against Google..

    Right now, There just not up to "snuff"

    They will survive regardless. Even if they only get 1% of the search market, that is a lot of people....far more than the traffic going to anyone on here's own website.

    Yahoo may never catch up with Google, but there will always be people who are loyal to Yahoo.

    Yahoo has been pretty solid in being a back up search engine/e-mail. But with that all be said, I have just signed up with g-mail and also have an exisiting msn account. There are advantages in using other sites instead of Yahoo... but like vansterdam said, there will always be people who are loyal to Yahoo... yahoo will survive against the other search engines because it is Yahoo.

    I don't think they can compete google in terms of search status as well as earning dude . This may be because google supports almost all countries where yahoo is limited .

    I think Yahoo is fine with the #2 spot till someone else come and over take them for the number 2, then they will start pumping some money into their business.
    They cannot compete with Google. Did your hear that Google is giving away 10 million their anniversary.

    Technically they aren't the ones paying
    The company that is paying YOU is a company known as My HomePages Funds

    It's a great program and I myself have been payed out over $100

    Anyways, I would agree that try as they like yahoo will never be able to take over google in terms of a search engine. They will always be a big competitor when it comes to games and news though, Yahoo will have to re think what they do and adapt to survive.

    Now a MSN/Yahoo merger... that's a different story. lol.

    yahoo is survive only due to their email services they provide, they need to rethink their search algo and give people quality result so people again put trust in yahoo search.
