Could anyone help me to write something about Yahoo's financial performance over the last 2 years?

Question

or what do you consider to be the main factors now affecting the success or otherwise of Yahoo in the next two years.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Answer 1

Yahoo's been struggling along w/ several other companies in the sector.  B/c the internet is such a fast paced business, it's not enough to be a leader one day.  Today's leader can be tomorrow's old news, thus is why you have to continually see and anticipate needs / desires of internet users.

Not only do you have to do that, but you also have to deliver.

That's why Google is totally kicking Yahoo's butt.  Not only is there stuff continuing to be leading edge (buying Youtube, having google maps, picasa, etc), but their stuff is usually more reliable w/ fewer glitches.  

Compare that to Yahoo and all the hiccups it's had recently.  Further, you not only have to have a good product, you have to attract and retain traffic.  Then, you have ahve to build in steams of revenue.  

Google's done a good job of that, but now Yahoo's new Panama project hopes to finally bring them back up to par with competitors on capturing more ad revenue.

Anyways, there's some bullet points off the top of my head.  

Good luck!
