Who will take the lead! Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has a 2 billion market cap lead over Yahoo! (NASDAQ:YHOO) as of 12-30-04 I still feel Google has more to prove, Yahoo has a clean site with a huge name brand and has already learned from many mistakes... Google on the other hand is a fresh new investor based company now that use to be private. I suspect a change of management decision making that will only hurt Google now that they are backed by investors. When Google was a private entity they had more freedom, now with investor eyeballs and the added pressure to perform for investors I feel it has a whole bunch to prove to keep a similar valuation to Yahoo! In following the search engine optimization sector for years and also owning one of the most highly ranked firms for our industry as far as SERPS (Search engine optimization result pages, not an easy task) I feel much more confident being in Yahoo then being in Google.
