It seems like last year their revenue was about 2.5 billion and their profit was around 23 million - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/annual-report-2019-outlook-2020-071815598.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/annual-report-2019-outlook-20...
- gabrielsroka 6y agoThat page doesn't seem to be about Yahoo. According to Wikipedia, Yahoo's revenue in 2016 was $5.2 billion. Yahoo is now owned by Verizon Media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo%21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo%21
- muzani 6y agoA bit of a tangent, but a tenth of my organic search traffic comes from Yahoo. So people are still using it.
- O_H_E 6y agoWhat! That's quite a bit more than I expected. I suspect it have to do with your niche?
- muzani 6y agoThe site doesn't rank well on Google, because of competing sites in the niche. It turns out 8th page on Google does worse than first result on Yahoo. In order, traffic comes from: Bing, Duckduckgo, Yahoo, Ecosia.org, Oceanhero.today, Google, and the various country based Yahoos (nl.search.yahoo.com, and so on).
- O_H_E 6y agoWow, this is actually very weird.
- giantg2 6y agoI have Yahoo as my mobile homepage. It has news from a variety of sources. Yahoo finance is also very useful.
