How do Website companies like google and yahoo! get so much money?

Question

I just read through the businessweeks rankings of "Most Valuable Global Brands".Incidentally,I was scrolling through and spoted google at 20th place with a worth value of $17,837million,yes thats right "million dollars" and yahoo:55th with about $6,000 mill.Which was a mind-blowing surprise to me coz all I do at google is search for information and yahoo for
their email service.Apparently more surprising that google's value is almost 3 times that of yahoo!

Answer 1
