But I highly doubt much Yahoo's traffic is coming from search. They've got Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, omg! (which is huge), Flickr, Tumblr, etc. Yahoo is in the content business.
Plus, I know of some people (especially older people) who have Yahoo set as their homepage, and they'll freak out if it gets set to anything else. And besides, Yahoo is a much better homepage than iGoogle for most people, particularly if they use Yahoo mail.
- ImprovedSilence 13y agoOh shit, you bring up a good point. Nobody else seemed to mention it, but I bet Tumblr is helping push them over the edge in terms of traffic.
- agumonkey 13y agoSame here, Google has become `readline in a browser` somehow. About * Mail, after everything Google did to be more social and whatnot, there's still no integration with Gmail, only Google Plus. A mail counter in Google's black bar would have been more useful.
- samspenc 13y agoActually, Tumblr isn't included in the comScore report - its listed separately at #28.
