Is Yahoo actually turning a profit, if so which service contribute the most?

Also, are there any stats explaining why so Yahoo still have so many daily visitors? Is it just result of having a ton of service and then the numbers afe bundled? It seems hard to understand that pages like Yahoo (or msn.com) would attract so many users as the Alexa ranking would suggest.




Comscore ranks Verizon's properties (basically Yahoo/AOL) as the #2 site on the internet as well.

Comscore’s data collection relies on users installing their shady monitoring software - I imagine users who install such software are significantly more likely to have a yahoo email account. Same issue with Alexa ranks.
