Yahoo auction is the largest Japanese trading platform on the Internet, where a wide variety of goods are sold at discounted prices. Like many other auctions in Japan, Yahoo offers a huge selection of both used goods in excellent condition and original products just off the assembly line.
In the early years of the online auction, participation in it was free, but later it became subject to a fee. From now on, the cost of participation in the auction is debited from the buyer’s bank account opened in Japan, which is why Russian citizens cannot participate in the auction on their own. IMPEX JAPAN is ready to provide professional assistance and support in purchasing quality goods from Japan at a very competitive price. We specialize in providing primarily spare parts and components for cars, watercraft, motorcycles and special equipment made in Japan.
On this page you will find Japanese Yahoo auctions in Russian. Here you can use a convenient product search and quickly find the necessary spare parts and components for your car.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. In RuNet, there are several search engines that somehow influence the distribution of user preferences: Yandex (here I wrote about setting it up), Google, which is inferior to the leaders, and is completely invisible.
At the turn of the century, Yahoo had a very successful IPO and after some time their shares rose in price very well. It was a golden time for this company, but after the dot-com crash at the beginning of the 2000s, their shares fell in price by almost two orders of magnitude.
In subsequent years, management still continues to actively buy various services (in 2002 they even made an offer to Google to buy it for three billion greenbacks, but were refused, after which they agreed to use their index base to implement their search) and build muscle, but many of the steps taken will not yield results and will even lead to losses.
In 2002, Yahoo management finally came to the conclusion that one search directory (even the largest in the world) was not enough, and it was adopted decision to launch a search engine with your robot. The first two years (until 2004) I used the Google index for this purpose (now the Runet search engine mail.ru does the same).
After that, Yahoo used its own index database (several search engines were bought up for this purpose, including the well-known AltaVista), which, however, was not the best decision, because not so long ago the management was forced to completely switch all its services to engine from the Bing company (owned by MelkoMyagkim). As a result of this manipulation, the Bing search engine confidently took second place in searches in the United States and around the world.
In 2008, the Melkomyagkies offered to buy Yahoo with all its giblets for forty-five billion greens, but the company’s management, after several months of deliberation, actually ruined the deal. After some time, they come to an agreement, which still allowed Bing to become number two in the world.
In subsequent years, the company is mainly engaged in trying to get rid of all the goodness that they managed to buy during their heyday. Moreover, they sell some services significantly cheaper than they bought them, and what they don’t sell, they give to (for the management of another company).
Some projects are simply closed (for example, the analogue of free hosting GeoCities, which Yahoo previously bought for fabulous money). In general, the prospects for this company are probably not the most rosy.
Yahoo in Russian (ru.yahoo.com)
Recently, their main website has become friendly with the Russian language and you can search on Runet sites on the page Yahoo! in Russian. Their Bing engine doesn’t show anything extraordinary, but I didn’t notice any particular flaws.
This search engine quite quickly and completely indexes sites on the RuNet, unless you have blocked them with a bot, for example, in order to reduce the load on the hosting server.
This bot is very annoying, but you can set the hours when it will be allowed to torment your resource, and indicate the acceptable level of load created by this.
Like any search engine, Yahoo strives to make money on the desire of users to find answers to their questions. At one time, Google came up with a rather compromise and unobtrusive (at least by design) way of making money - placing contextual advertising with auction pricing (you can read about its principles in my article about).
As for the quality of the search engine, at least for some of the queries I checked, this blog occupies approximately the same positions in it as in Yandex or Google. Another thing is that Yahoo search share(and Bing too) is vanishingly small in RuNet, as a result of which I practically do not watch from these search engines.
But webmasters do not live by RuNet alone - the bourgeoisie is much more generous in rewarding the work of the righteous (in, for example, clicks will be an order of magnitude more expensive) and many turn their gaze in his direction. Well, there good positions in Bing (and therefore in Yahoo) will not be superfluous.
There is also an image search, which is much more similar to .
There is also an advanced search, which essentially differs little from analogues from the leading search engines of the Runet (read my articles about that, and).
In general, in light of the events and upheavals that have occurred in recent years, it is no longer worth considering it as a search engine, but this mega-portal has a whole range of popular services, such as Yahoo mail, Flickr photo hosting, messaging and much more.
It is difficult to judge whether these services are better or worse than those offered by competitors, but millions of users around the world, once hooked on Yahoo, never leave it (it is especially popular in Japan).
In RuNet there are also pale reflections of this giant of the Internet industry (mail.ru and rambler), but their share in the world Internet is much lower and balances at the noise level. For users, they are the first site (portal) they visit when entering the Internet. There they read the news, check their email, write instant messages, check the weather and do other everyday little things.
All this can be done on the main page of the Russian-language portal - Yahoo in Russian:
As you can see, this company cooperates with a number of RuNet news agencies, whose tabs are immediately shown to the user on the main page. From the left menu you can go to view the international page of the portal, view your mail and find out the weather for the coming days anywhere in the world. Further in the left column you will find links to the most popular services in RuNet, for example, Odnoklassniki, Twitter, Facebook, Afisha and others.
True, there is no clear leader of the RuNet -, but the service kindly provides you with the opportunity to add the necessary links to the left column using the “Add Favorites” option at the very bottom. True, for this you will have to register and receive a free mailbox, which may not be superfluous.
Yahoo Mail, registration and setup
After saving the changes made to your profile, a message about this will appear at the top of the page, and next to it there will be a link to your public profile (the word “Rate”). If you wish, you can, because an extra backlink will never hurt, although it may not help much. But we have already digressed from the topic of the article.
The mailbox you create will be available at mail.yahoo.com. It will be possible to import contacts from your existing or (from small) or Facebook account:
Personally, I have been working with correspondence exclusively through Gmail for many years (although I started with ), but at the time when I made my choice, I heard a lot of good reviews about spam cutting in Yahoo Mail, but it is possible that now the situation has changed. At the moment, their interface unpleasantly surprised me with the dominance of advertising, and its size is striking, which sometimes becomes absolutely monstrous (420 by 600 pixels):
I didn’t find any special features, except the ability to add photos to letters from the Flickr photo hosting site, which again belongs to Yahoo. I didn’t find the filters and shortcuts that I had gotten used to in Gmail here, but it’s possible that I was just looking poorly.
I didn’t really like the standard purple theme, but it turned out that it’s quite easy to change it by selecting “Options” - “Themes” from the top menu. The main “Mail Settings” are also hidden there, which can be adjusted to suit you if you decide to use Yahoo Mail.
Given the speed at which the company has been selling, shutting down and outsourcing its projects lately, I would be wary of moving my main mailbox to this mailbox in case they close it down. Although you can create a secondary mailbox there and set up correspondence forwarding. .
Yahoo catalog - paid and free registration
Usually, when promoting a site on the RuNet, webmasters strive to add it to popular directories. They are considered the most significant in RuNet, and sometimes they also remember the Mail.ru and Aport catalogs.
When it comes to promotion in the burzhunet, in the past webmasters always added the site to the panel. However, she rested in peace along with the search engine:
This event spoiled the mood not only of webmasters working in the bourgeois internet, but also of the entire Internet community in general. This panel included an amazing tool that gave you a ton of information about your site's link building. It's sad really, because competition always benefits ordinary users.
Well, adding your site to the Yahoo catalog when promoting in the bourgeois internet has probably already become a rule. He lives at the address Dir.yahoo.com and is only available in English, but it is not at all a problem to translate the entire page using .
Previously, however, there were localized versions specifically for Germany, Spain, Italy and France, but at the end of 2009 Yahoo considered their support a luxury and stopped doing it. It never came to the point of supporting the Russian-language version of the catalogue, and probably never will.
So, there are two possible types of placement in the Yahoo catalogue.
In Malzhak our father is considered the kindest man,
soft like freshly baked bread.
They think so correctly.
But there's too much crumb in it
and there is no crust at all.
Maleville, Robert Merle.
When asked what the quartet of the most popular sites in the world looks like today, a domestic Internet user may not have a clear answer. If there should be no doubt about unshakable positions and at the top of the conditional rating, then certain difficulties may arise in determining fourth place. ? ? Or maybe Wikipedia?! But they didn’t guess...
If you believe authoritative web ratings (the same Alexa), then immediately after the mentioned trio comes Yahoo!- American old-timer with a monthly audience of 700 million users. This fact, and also the curious fact that the popularity of Yahoo! in the States, according to some estimates, surpasses the Americans’ love for , forcing us to take a closer look at the history of the development of this global portal.
The birth, strange name and first recognition of Yahoo! (1994-1996)
Happy birth to Yahoo! owes to Stanford University, where at the dawn of the 90s, Jerry Yang and David Fileo, students of electrical engineering, studied and were friends. In January 1994, Jerry and David jointly launched “Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web” with a very original name. Translated from English - “Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web.”
The resource was a hierarchical catalog of links to other sites that guys loved on a variety of topics. According to the guys themselves, initially it was purely entertaining. It was a kind of hobby for them and nothing more. In other words, at that moment none of the two could even imagine that in the future their brainchild would receive worldwide recognition and commercial success.
In April 1994, friends decided to replace the original cumbersome name with a more sonorous one. The word “Yahoo” became it. At that time, you could get to the updated site at: akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo.
By the way, about the name. There are two main versions of its origin:
- First says that the word “Yahoo” in the United States still refers to rude and uncouth residents of the southern part of the country, where David Fileo is from. Therefore, the latter was often called that way at the university. Apparently, David was not very worried about this, giving his nickname worldwide fame.
- Second version It comes down to the fact that the word "Yahoo" is an acronym for the phrase "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle." Translated from English - “Another hierarchical annoying (helpful) soothsayer.”
Which version is the most plausible, everyone has the right to decide for themselves, but it is known for certain that the fathers of Yahoo! adhere to the first of them.
Be that as it may, by the end of 1994 the popularity of the project increased noticeably. It now boasted 1 million unique visitors per month. And this figure was constantly increasing.
Seeing the extraordinary commercial potential of their site, Jerry and David leave their studies in order to fully concentrate on the further development of the resource. In January 1995, the site moved to a new one - Yahoo.com. And already in March a corporation of the same name was created. For this purpose, the comrades attracted investments from the venture company Sequoia Capital (California, USA) in the amount of $3 million.
A year later, in April 1996, Yahoo! enters the US stock market, making its creators millionaires overnight. With a nominal price of one share of $13, 2.6 million were sold. And this is almost 34 million conventional units.
This year the site itself is undergoing qualitative changes. From now on, this is not just a collection of links to interesting Internet resources. This is a search portal, from the start page of which millions of users in Western countries begin their work. At this time, the launch of “MyYahoo” took place - a personalized user page, which, among other things, displays the latest news, stock quotes, weather forecast, etc. September 1996 also saw the opening of the first overseas representative office of Yahoo! In Great Britain.
This could be the end of this period in the development of Yahoo!, if not for one “but”. You probably noticed that I use the name of the portal with enviable persistence along with an exclamation mark. This is done for a reason. The fact is that at the time the trademark was registered by Stanford students, such a name was already listed as the private property of manufacturers of barbecue sauce, knives and even watercraft. In view of this, it was decided to make the name unique by adding an exclamation mark. This is why using the portal name without this sign (which is still common) is erroneous.
On the wave of dot-com success (1997-2000)
The end of the 90s of the last century was a period of rapid development of all kinds of Internet companies: from the largest to the smallest (the so-called “dot-com boom”). The driving force behind this boom were such giants as MSN, Lycos and, of course, Yahoo!. A characteristic feature of that time was the opening of additional services based on these, initially search, portals in order to attract as many visitors as possible.
In the case of Yahoo! the search for new ideas for new services was quite simple, if not primitive. The company began buying up developed web projects in batches and creating its own products based on them. Thus, in 1997, the free email service RocketMail was acquired, on the basis of which Yahoo!'s own email service was subsequently created. Mail. This was followed in 1998 by the purchase of ClassicGames and eGroups, which then became Yahoo! Games and Yahoo! Groups respectively.
However, the fate of many acquired projects was not as rosy as those mentioned above. For example, in 1999, Yahoo! bought the then popular GeoCities for a fabulous $4.6 billion. I bought it in order to ruin it safely. For a whole decade, the project languished in the depths of the Internet until it finally disappeared in 2009. But there are such examples behind Yahoo! there are quite a lot of them. The corporation bought promising and even profitable web projects, only to eventually bring them into decline.
Why did this happen? According to some experts, one of the main reasons was that after acquiring one or another startup, Yahoo! began to reshape the established rules of use for visitors. The latter objectively did not like it, and they gradually left the project, dooming it to extinction.
What else do you remember about the reporting period? Yes, a lot of different achievements of Yahoo!, both with a “plus” sign and with a “minus” sign. For example, in 1999, Yahoo! Messenger. This instant messaging program is still popular today, especially in the United States.
The negative aspects of Yahoo! may be attributed to a pathological reluctance to develop one’s own search mechanism. Before 2000, Yahoo! uses search technologies from third-party developers (say, Inktomi). And in June 2000, Yahoo! enters into an agreement with Google for a period of 4 years, providing for the use of Google's search engine on Yahoo.com. As practice has shown, this step cost Yahoo! dear. In a relatively short period of time, users stopped associating the portal with the search engine. As a result, many of them began to use Google directly, thus significantly reducing the “search” audience of Yahoo!.
Another miscalculation of Yahoo! Led by Tim Coogle (CEO since 1995), some consider the deal to buy the then-emerging company to have failed in 2000. I wouldn't be so categorical. It is not yet known whether we would have had the current one if Yahoo! had “gotten” to it in due time.
Despite its achievements and miscalculations, the popularity of Yahoo! at the turn of the millennium, it grew at an incredible pace, and with it its market capitalization. When the “dot-com boom” reached its apogee (early 2000), per share of Yahoo! gave 118.7 dollars, and the assets of the company itself were estimated at an incredible 100 billion dollars. For Yahoo! it was a historical high! The company never reached such financial heights again.
On the ruins of former greatness (2001-2007)
And history knows many examples when a period of rapid growth of a company was followed by its no less rapid decline. Yahoo! Corporation did not escape a similar fate. She turned out to be one of the few who were lucky enough to survive the “dot-com crash”, but at the same time lost a significant part of her former greatness, including financial ones. Suffice it to say that in September 2001, the company's share price dropped to its historical low - $8.11 per share. Now the cost of Yahoo! did not exceed 10 billion “American presidents”. So, for some year Yahoo! lost its status as the most valuable web company on the planet! This led to Tim Coogle giving up his place at the helm of the company to Terry Simil.
The reporting period of direct development of the portal is also characterized by several distinctive features.
First of all, Yahoo! continues its chaotic evolution in all directions at once. Trying to replace the entire Internet for the user, Yahoo! launches a huge number of new entertainment, news and sports web products. For example, in 2005 the company introduced its own music service Yahoo! Music, as well as Yahoo! 360°.
At the same time, a series of not fully thought-out purchases by the Internet giant continues. Thus, such social platforms as Upcoming.org, Blo.gs, Del.icio.us, Flickr.com, etc. become the property of the company. Many of them, due to the unique ability of Yahoo! lead to degradation of excellent sites that have not yet revealed their full potential. The same Flickr, the main photo hosting site on the Internet at that time, noticeably lost its popularity, having moved under the wing of Yahoo!.
Secondly, the company, due to the fact that the agreement with Google came to an end in 2003 (see above), finally decides to develop its own search engine. For these purposes, for 2002-2003. Experienced developers in this area were bought up: Inktomi, Overture Services Inc., AltaVista and AlltheWeb. The result of their joint creativity for the benefit of the corporation was the creation of their own search technology - Yahoo! Slurp, which began to be used on Yahoo.com since the end of 2003.
Thirdly, having timely recognized all the prospects, Yahoo! Since 2003, it has been working not only on its development, but also on its implementation in its services. In 2004, contextual advertising Yahoo! became “smart” - learned to “adapt” to the user’s search queries and preferences.
And finally, fourthly, Yahoo! continues to demonstrate its inadequacy in “skirmishes” with other influential Internet corporations. Let's say in 2006 Yahoo! Google loses the fight first for , and then for DoubleClick (an experienced player in the market). The attempt by Yahoo! crush under oneself.
During 2005-2007. between Yahoo! and Microsoft are in active dialogue regarding a possible merger. However, the companies ultimately did not agree on anything specific. Unless they established closer cooperation in areas of interest to both. A local result of such friendship can be considered, for example, the fact that Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger now have the ability to interact with each other.
In general, the logical result of the reporting period can be considered the company’s statement of the impossibility of competing on equal terms with the already recognized leader of the Internet - Google. As a result, in 2007, Terry Simil left his post, giving it to one of the creators of Yahoo! - Jerry Yang.
Recent history of Yahoo! (2008 – present day)
On the eve of the global financial and economic crisis, Yahoo! makes a statement that mass layoffs of its employees are not far off. No sooner said than done! In December 2008, over 1.5 thousand employees were laid off, which is just under 10% of their total number.
Not long before this, Yahoo! once again held out to Microsoft. The company offered to buy Yahoo! for a record 44.6 billion dollars. This proposal was rejected by Yahoo! due to the greatly reduced price. Underestimated according to Yahoo! executives.
Despite the fact that the “deal of the century” could not be concluded, the companies continued their cooperation. One of its most significant manifestations was the decision to use the Bing search robot, whose parent is Microsoft, on Yahoo.com since 2008. Thus, Yahoo! once again demonstrated its inconsistency, finally handing over the search segment of the Web to Google and Microsoft.
Further development of Yahoo! associated with the leapfrog in the top management of the company. In 2009, Jerry Yang left his position. After him, Carol Bartz and Scott Thompson took turns at the helm of the corporation. We must admit, we stood there to no avail, because nothing good happened with Yahoo! did not happen until mid-2012. On the contrary, another mass layoff, management scrambling to find new niches for the company, etc. There seemed to be no end to this and, accordingly, Yahoo! sooner or later, but will repeat the fate of many of its long-forgotten purchases.
And just when many experts had already come to terms with this idea, the company was headed in July 2012 by Marissa Mayer, an eccentric, but at the same time very ambitious top manager, who most recently served as vice president of Google. It’s not to say that Marissa, during her time at the helm of Yahoo!, was able to radically change the portal and everything connected with it. But certain advances for the better have clearly emerged.
Its anti-crisis approach to management finally allowed the company to say goodbye to huge ballast in the form of frozen and half-dead projects and concentrate on those whose potential is beyond doubt. At least for her.
So, in May 2013 Yahoo! acquired the fairly popular blogosphere Tumblr for $1.1 billion, and also relaunched Flickr on a grand scale (in Times Square). The company plans to create real, and not imaginary, competition with the recognized leaders of the Internet in the field of mobile applications and video hosting.
We will find out in the future whether Mrs. Mayer will succeed in all her plans. In the meantime, it is worth stating that the wind of real change brought by her to Yahoo! is already bearing fruit. Thus, the corporation began to be mentioned much more often in the media, and in a favorable light. Updated Yahoo! began to acquire a new audience. Curiously, Yahoo! even managed to outpace Google in some ways - by the end of July 2013, various Yahoo! turned out to be more in demand among US residents in comparison with the search giant’s projects. The growth of the portal's American audience was 21% per year, which has not been observed for several years.
As a consequence of all that has been said, this year the company’s share price jumped to its five-year high. It's only the beginning?!
Yahoo is the largest portal and search engine on the Internet, which occupies a good share of search traffic around the world.
Until now as of May 2011 Yahoo search engine second only in terms of search share in the US. Also, for example, in Japan, the Yahoo search engine is the leader in search.
Initially, Yahoo was created as a large directory, then it grew into a portal with a bunch of different services and a search engine.
Who are the creators of Yahoo?
Yahoo founders are graduate students at Stanford University David Filo And Jerry Yang.
In 1994 they developed a directory with links to other sites. Since it was then difficult to search for sites on the World Wide Web, the catalog gained enormous popularity in a very short time, and by the fall of 1994, the catalog was used by more than one hundred thousand users, and it had more than one million requests.
If you look at Yahoo, the catalog looked like this in 1995-1996:
Yahoo history
In 1995, Yahoo Corporation was founded, and a year later divisions were opened in countries such as Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, China, India, Japan and Canada.
Then there was the Internet boom, and at this time Yahoo made good money on advertising. By that time, large search engines like MSN, Lycos, Excite and Yahoo had appeared and were developing and growing at great speed. And in order to attract and retain more visitors to sites, search engines have acquired various services.
In 1997, Yahoo acquired the RocketMail portal, on the basis of which Yahoo mail soon appeared. Later, ClassicGames.com and eGroups were also acquired, resulting in Yahoo Games and Yahoo Groups. In June 1999, Yahoo introduced Yahoo! Messenger is an instant messaging service.
Until 2004, the Yahoo search engine used search technology from Google, but after absorbing the search engines Inktomi, AltaVista and AllTheWeb as well as the Overture service, it switched to its own search.
In 2005-2006, Yahoo launched a number of new services such as Yahoo! Music, Flickr and Yahoo! 360°. The corporation also acquired a number of companies such as blo.gs, Upcoming.org, del.icio.us and webjay.
In 2008, Microsoft made an offer to shareholders to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion, but the deal never materialized.
Yahoo's search engine is a market leader in Japan, and in 2010 it acquired Cirius Technologies, the developer of geo-contextual advertising system AdLocal, which will further strengthen its position in the Japan region.
Yahoo profit
The company's revenue in 2008 was $7.209 billion (in 2007 - $6.97 billion). Net profit - $424.298 million (in 2007 - $660 million).
In 2009, revenue was $6.46 billion and net profit was $605 million. In 2010, Yahoo's net income grew by 105% to $1.24 billion.
Features of promotion in Yahoo
Search engine promotion in Yahoo is different from promotion in Google or Bing. In order for a site to rank better in Yahoo, you need to add it to the search engine directory. Addition is paid and paid annually.
To search for information on the Internet, most of us are accustomed to using search engines such as Google, Yandex,.
If we talk about postal services, then to the above you can add the services Mail.ru, less often I.ua, Ukr.net, Bigmir.net.
In today's review we will talk about the American service Yahoo!
Yahoo! (pronounced yahoo) is an American company, founded in 1995, owner of the world's second most popular search engine, providing a number of services (mail, search engine, news, weather, online games), united on the portal Yahoo!Directory.
Note! Among the attractive features of Yahoo! mailbox size is 1 TB, the ability to create an unlimited number of disposable addresses for registration on an unreliable resource, incoming letters from which the system will automatically add to spam and much more.
Making Yahoo Search the Default
Let's look at how to make a Yahoo! the default search engine in most popular web browsers.
Google Chrome
Enter the data as shown in the screenshot and click “Finish”.
Click the “Configure search engines” button again and move the mouse pointer to the search engine line Yahoo! and click “Set as default”, and then the “Finish” button.
After changing the default search engine, pay attention to the value that is set next to the “Configure search engines” button.
Mozilla Firefox
In Mozilla Firefox, the process of adding a search engine is automated and there is no need to register anything. Open the menu and go to the “Settings” menu:
Open the “Search” submenu and go to the “Add other search engines” item.
On the add-on installation page, enter the search query “yahoo answers” in the search field.
The search in the system is dynamic and as soon as the query is written to the end at the bottom of the search line, you should select the proposed add-on “Yahoo!Answers Search”.
Install the add-on by clicking the “+ Add to Firefox” button. After installation, the browser will offer to make Yahoo the default search engine, check the appropriate box and click “Add”.
This completes the installation of the Yahoo search engine in the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Opera
The system redirects to the Gmail server. Here you need to enter the login and password of the account from which the contacts will be copied and click “Login”.
Click “Accept”.
This will import all contacts from your Gmail account. Once completed, the total of the operation and the number of contacts that were imported will be shown.
In the left column you can view a list of contacts.
If we go to the “Import contacts” menu again, we will see that the contact synchronization function has been enabled, in which all contacts that will be added to the Gmail service account will be automatically imported into the Yahoo account.
