These offerings incorporate a suite of integrated Yahoo! tools and services including safety and security features, communications tools, compelling content, and a customized Internet browser – all in an individualized environment.

Premium Internet Packages

During 2002, we launched a strategic alliance with SBC to offer a co-branded Internet service to DSL (broadband) customers in SBC's 13-state region and to dial-up subscribers nationwide. The services offer consumers integrated access and premium services on a subscription basis, and include a suite of Yahoo! and SBC customized products and services. During 2003, we launched a similar alliance with BT offering co-branded DSL, dial, and email services in the United Kingdom. In December of 2003, Yahoo! also introduced Yahoo! Plus, a comprehensive premium Internet package for users with broadband Internet access. In early 2004, Yahoo! announced an alliance with Rogers Cable Inc., which will provide broadband Internet access bundled with Yahoo! products and services in Canada.

Communications

Yahoo! Mail is a free service that provides users with a full-featured email experience including industry-leading Spam control, robust address book functionality and integration with Yahoo! Calendar. In addition to our basic email service, we offer premium Mail products that include extra email storage, mail forwarding and the ability to use Yahoo! Mail with other client applications. Yahoo! Mail Plus, a premium mail product, offers a combination of these features plus enhanced junk mail control, increased virus protection and personalized stationery.

Yahoo! Messenger provides a platform for instantaneous communications for personal and business users. Users can interact with friends and family on a real-time basis while customizing the experience via features such as IMVironments™ – which allows users to change the messaging window background, animated emoticons, video Web cams and integrated mobile messaging.

For a fee, Yahoo!'s Enterprise Edition Messenger extends the benefits of this instant communication to the workplace by adding an enhanced level of security and centralized administrative control. This service was formerly part of our Enterprise Solutions business along with Yahoo! Portal Solutions and Broadcast Solutions, which provided communications solutions to help businesses more easily aggregate and distribute business critical information and interact with their target audience.

During 2003 we reduced our Yahoo! Portal Solutions and Broadcast Solutions efforts and reorganized Enterprise Edition Messenger into the Communications and Consumer Services group.

Yahoo! Photos makes it easy for a user to upload and store pictures, as well as share them with friends and family for free. For example, Yahoo! users can now view their pictures with a friend instantly using a specially designed Yahoo! Photos IMVironment. Users can also order prints with the click of a mouse as a premium service.

Our online Communities help users build and manage relationships and includes properties such as Yahoo! Groups, Chat, Member Directory, and Message Boards. Yahoo! Groups gives users a convenient way to connect with others who share the same interests and ideas through a Website and email group.

Personals

Yahoo! Personals allows users to post a profile and search for others with whom to communicate for free. Users can also send short one-time messages to others in the community to communicate their interest without charge. With a subscription, Yahoo! Personals' users can email and use Yahoo! Messenger to communicate with others in the community. Our Personals service includes online dating industry-leading features such as voice and video clips, and a special recommendations engine called "Likely Likables," which uses advanced search technology to bring similar people together in the community.

Customers can access a variety of Yahoo! services for free, including email, instant messaging, and a wide range of information offerings on their mobile phones via wireless-specific browsers. Yahoo! also allows consumers to receive mobile alerts on a wide variety of interests from sports scores to breaking news to weather. In 2003, Yahoo! launched a number of innovative mobile features including PC-to-SMS (Short Message Service) messaging and Yahoo! Mobile Photos.

Affiliate Services

We offer pay-for-performance advertising, paid inclusion and algorithmic search services. These services connect advertisers and potential buyers through our network and our affiliates' Websites, networks of Web properties that have integrated Overture's search service into their Web pages. These services include:

• Pay-For-Performance – including Precision Match and Content Match;

• Paid Inclusion and;

• Algorithmic Search.

Pay-For-Performance

Precision Match or keyword search prioritizes search results by the amount the advertiser has bid for placement. Advertisers are listed in the search results on our network and also on our affiliates' networks in descending order of their bid, with the highest bidder appearing as the first search listing in the search results. Bids may be expressed either as the amount the advertiser pays each time there is a click on the advertiser's search listing or as the maximum amount the advertiser is willing to pay for a click on the advertiser's search listing.

Advertisers pay only when a click-through occurs on the advertiser's search listing. Advertisers may see the bids of other advertisers on their keywords, enabling the advertiser to determine his or her own bid necessary to achieve a desired ranking, which instills competition among advertisers and promotes greater relevance for consumers. Most advertisers utilize self-service tools to open and manage accounts online including tracking, bid management and measurement features.

Content Match allows businesses to place listings on more locations on the Web and drive more traffic to their sites. Content Match displays listings when Internet users are viewing related content on the Yahoo! network or our affiliates' pages. For example, if the user is reading an article about interest rates, he or she could find links on the side of the page for mortgage-related advertisers. Similarly, users who are researching vacation plans may see listings for hotels and rental car agencies.

Paid Inclusion

Paid Inclusion guarantees that our customers' Websites are included and frequently updated in the index that is crawled by the search engine. Customers may pay fees based on sales leads or click-throughs powered by our search services. Customers may also pay a fixed fee that provides inclusion in the Web search index and an automatic 48-hour refresh of the submitted content. Through our paid inclusion programs, customers submit information often not normally available by traditional Web crawling techniques and this information is included in our Web search index.

Algorithmic Search

Our Algorithmic Search services provide search results to some of our affiliates, who in turn incorporate these results into their online offerings to end users. Our search engine uses proprietary technology to crawl the Web, index and serve Web results on text-based queries. Customers pay per-query search fees based on query volume.
