What do you mean without ad-support???? are you blind?
I see a wikipedia link while I am typing this. Next time you answer a question look right under the sources box. Look an ad link. Sure it does not have a fancy dancing picture or anything.
I also see a link to yahoo search. Every time you use yahoo search it puts paid links at the top before the other search results.
they make the money from ads and links.

I personally have never seen free services by Yahoo without ad-support. The ones I know that don't have ads are paid services. And I don't think Yahoo is connected to AOL in any way shape or form!

yahoo is not a division of AOL! we'll never know what the bottom line says. e-commerce pricing is a funny and non-exact science. they deliver web surfers..... people pay to link to those sites..... who knows what content delivery fees they generate.... who knows. but they drive a large portion of internet traffic across their sites.... so they charge pretty well for that i would assume. my hats off to them for producing a model that seems to work while maintaining a bevy of free services for regular users..
