Yahoo has more than a search engine, but Google is a better one.
Google's revenue is still mostly made from advertising (I know they
have launched some intranet searching products, but they are not
generating much revenue yet), and they have gotten very good at that,
providing many different searching ways (images, news, froogle) and
putting the Sponsored Ads in them.
Probably they will continue working the same way, while the investment
on web ads is surely going to grow in the future, and Google is a
master at it.
Yahoo, on the other hand, has a lot of other different businesses to
get revenue from, like upgrading your email account, fantasy
football-like games, Yahoo Yellow Pages, or Yahoo for small businesses
and, even though they might not be the leading search engine, they can
still make revenue from other stuff.
Personally I'd be more comfortable buying Google because I can
understand their business model better and I feel confident that their
business will grow, while I can't really understand all of Yahoo's
businesses, they are too much for me, the amateur finance enthusiast. |
