moving-related content and services, advice about finding a real estate agent, neighborhoods, financing

Travel
Yahoo! Travel is a comprehensive online travel guide that provides research and booking functionality for
users to find, compare and conveniently purchase travel products such as airline tickets, hotel rooms, car
rentals, vacation packages and cruises. We generate revenue from our travel partners through a revenue
share of the booking value when users make travel arrangements on Yahoo! Travel. Separately, Yahoo!
offers a travel search engine called Yahoo! FareChase. Yahoo! FareChase is an extension of our search
offerings that allows users to search for travel information from multiple travel service providers’ websites
simultaneously and obtain results from all providers on one page for purposes of comparison shopping.
This service is available free of charge to users and suppliers of travel products and online travel agents.
Autos
Yahoo! Autos enables users to research, price and compare cars online. Information and services available
free of charge to our users include vehicle pricing, specification and option information, used car listings,
expert reviews, user reviews and ratings, car comparisons, financing calculators, and new car quotes from
dealers. We generate revenue from users who pay to list used cars for sale or for premium research
content. In addition, we earn fees on a per lead basis for transactions completed between our users and
automotive manufacturers and dealers. In 2005, Yahoo! Autos launched Custom, a community site for
automotive enthusiasts that allows them to find, use, share and expand auto-related knowledge. Custom
enables users to create profiles for their cars, share photos, communicate on message boards and search
for local mechanics and relevant automotive information.
Personals
Yahoo! Personals is a leading online dating service. It allows users, free of charge, to post a profile and
search for others with whom to communicate within the Yahoo! Personals community. Users can also
send short one-time messages to others to communicate their interest without charge. With a paid
subscription, Yahoo! Personals’ users can e-mail and use Yahoo! Messenger to communicate with others
in the Yahoo! Personals community. The standard Yahoo! Personals subscription service serves a large
population of daters with a newly optimized user experience that is tailored to meet the needs of today’s
online daters. Yahoo! Personals Premier offers deeper profiling and advanced searching tools.
Jobs
Yahoo! HotJobs is a leader in the online recruiting industry, providing comprehensive solutions for
employers, staffing firms and job seekers. Yahoo! HotJobs’ tools and advice put job seekers in control of
their career search and we believe make it easier and more cost-effective for recruiters and employers to
find qualified candidates compared to traditional methods. Yahoo! HotJobs enables job seekers to create
an online resume and to search and apply for jobs, and provides access to newsletters, online forums and
salary research, free of charge. In 2005, we launched a new job search engine that enables job seekers to
find jobs from across the Internet at Yahoo! HotJobs including listings from other employer and job-
related websites in addition to job listings on our website. We generate revenue from employers and
staffing firms that pay to access our database of job seekers and use our tools to post, track and manage job
openings.
