  19. Google and Yahoo are both prominent in online advertising sales. Google's primary revenue comes from its search and advertising services, dominating the market with its AdWords and AdSense platforms. In contrast, Yahoo, while historically strong, has faced challenges, and its market share in online advertising has diminished compared to Google's dominance.
