According to Alexa.com, Yahoo is the most visited web site in the world, with a considerable lead over its closest competitors. Yahoo is actually one of the oldest websites in existence - it started before the Internet was commercialised in 1993 and was originally a personal list of bookmarks maintained by a pair of college students.
The World Wide Web was a wilder place back then, without mighty search engines like Google to find the web site you were looking for. The only way to find a new site was by following links from site to site. This should give you some idea of why a website like Yahoo was so valuable to anyone without a million spare hours...
Yahoo now is a huge commercial concern, and leverages its marketplace to the max, offering everything from loans and insurance to cars and motorbikes. Following the phenomenal growth of eBay, auctions have been added into the mix.
While the auction side of Yahoo is not yet as big as eBay, they still offer many great opportunities to find bargains and rare items from an international community.
