I, Susan Decker, the Chief Financial Officer of Yahoo! Inc., certify that:
1. I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Yahoo! Inc.;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly

4. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:
(a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be

period in which this annual report is being prepared;
(b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this

during the registrants most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrants internal control over financial reporting; and
5. The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrants auditors and to the audit committee of registrants board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
(a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and
(b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrants internal control over financial reporting.
