Last year marked the first time Yahoo's earnings have dropped from the previous year, profit fell 12 percent to $660 million even though advertisers spent more than ever on the Internet, but bulk of that additional ad revenue has been gushing to Google Inc., a company that was smaller than Yahoo just three years ago.
