All these companies are based on advertisements as their main revenue source. Additionally these companies upsell other products such as an advanced email account (more storage, etc…) which also drives revenue.

It’s because of the advertisers. They pay yahoo for putting their ads on yahoo. This allows yahoo to provide you with free service. The rest of the costs are provided by those who pay for yahoo. Hope this helps.
