It’s a good question because Yahoo in fact helped create google into what they are today. Yahoo made google famous. Google owes a lot to Yahoo!.
In the late 1990s, Yahoo began stepping away from its search roots to become an aggregator of the Web's chaotic array of content and services. During this period, technology start-up Google emerged from academic roots with intent of delivering faster, more relevant search results.
Yahoo soon became Google's biggest licensing partner, letting the start-up's results appear on all algorithmic search terms. This arrangement, first viewed as a placeholder for Yahoo, eventually gave Google more exposure to Web surfers around the world, helping it become a well known brand.
Also Yahoo owns nearly 5.5 million shares in Class B stock of Google.

No they are not related in a business sense. In fact they are competitors, but both are Great sites.
