About 88% of revenues for the fiscal year 2009 came from marketing services. The largest segment of it was from search advertising, where advertisers bid for search terms to display their ads on the search results, on average Yahoo makes 2.5 cents to 3 cents from each search.
Other forms of advertising that bring in revenue for Yahoo include display and contextual advertising, with the latter providing the basis for the "Keystone" initiative (developed by Yahoo to develop an "ad selection technology for direct and online marketers to place non-guaranteed advertisements on publisher sites.").

Famous quotes containing the words revenue and/or model:
“If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
