...ad's why cant anyone else? Yahoo blasts you with ads everywhere you look. The google main page has NO ads, everything else, they are on the side and small. Gmail has almost no ads. I get pop3 access for free, everyone else you have to pay for. Why would I pay for yahoo when I get everything for gmail for free? Yahoo just recently stopped putting ad banners at the bottom of outgoing emails because they are trying to compete with gmail and gmail has NEVER done it. The yahoo main page always has one huge ad and then several small ones. Same thing with their mail. I just dont get it, if Google can do it and be 10000x more profitiable, why cant other companies follow suit?
The main yahoo page has a HUGE ad in the right hand middle section. Right under where you log in. The main page of google does not have ANYTHING on google.com

Also, google has NO banner ads or picture ads, yahoo has it blasted everywhere.

And I am comparing apples to apples. They are BOTH search engines.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Go to google.com, the main search page. Go to search.yahoo.com, the main search page. Neither have ads. Both sites have sponsored ads for all of their search results pages, no banners ads of any kind. So search is essentially the same between the two.

Google doesnt have a "home page" like yahoo.com. This site is free, and needs to be supported financially some way, instead of charging users, they put ads.

Learn a little more about both companies business model, and you will no longer think this way.
