If you see the progress of google its been outstanding and that too withion a short period as compared to Yahoo.

Why do you think yahoo google went ahead of yahoo. and where did yahoo fall back?

Can one fine day Yahoo leave Google back one fine day? Do you think that can be posible?

I don't think that is possible for next 20 years or more. Google will stay King to the internet for Long time and maybe one fine day some other SE comes along and beats the crap out of Google.

Uh..I think what you mean is that will one day Yahoo gets left behind and unable to catch up with Google? Yeah, anyway today they are already far behind from google as what we can see. Not much progress with yahoo while google has always been active with new stuff.

No i ment it the other way round

Something like yahoo growing so fast and vast that it leaves back google and overtakes it

Dont think that would happen so soon may be after a decade

Really it depends on the search results and word of mouth (and design). Personally I don't use Yahoo! because of its home page. There is too much going on in there that I tend to not think of it as a search engine. Which is what I'm guessing a few of the public do too. It's easy to over look the small search bar. Where as Google, the search bar is the domineering object and you can only but search. This is what I think separates Google from Yahoo!.

Nah...with their current progress, there is no way Yahoo can ever overtake Google. Unless there are some major changes in strategy or something. It's rather impossible.

I always leave google everyday. Right now i'm prefer with yahoo than google. My main site is yahoo. Its fine because google still the best. I just always use gmail than google search engine site today.

Well considering that I have a Google Tool bar for my Firefox browser, I would say that Yahoo! is quite far behind. I use a lot of Google things, such as Gmail, Adsense, Google Search and even the Page Rank sometimes. I don't actually use anything Yahoo!. I may be biased, but it's really Google's simplicity that has captured me.

Yahoo is far far behind right now. The question is not whether they can overtake Google but whether they will still remain in the search engine field in years to come. I don't see any new development in Yahoo at the moment.

Maybe. THe new thing is the buy mybloglog and paying his member by paypal at YPN. Others than that, i don't know. I think Yahoo need to do something or they just like to stay like today.

Actually, i still think Yahoo is the best from Google in certain case..

I think Yahoo will be around for a long time to come. However, I think it is unlikely they will take over Google. I think Google just seems to have a better development plan and is constantly making changs. They have often improved their services.
