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:
“Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:13-18.
“Socrates, who was a perfect model in all great qualities, ... hit on a body and face so ugly and so incongruous with the beauty of his soul, he who was so madly in love with beauty.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
