Busby SEO Challenge: New domains for Yahoo email users
Oops! Sorry. Username is no longer available - isn’t this frustrating? It sure is especially when there are already 266 million email users worldwide. That’s why Yahoo! got started in fixing this pressing problem among a growing number of new free email subscribers last 20th of June 2008.
The $80 million dollar purchase of Four11 Corp allowed Yahoo! to further expand the reach of its email enterprise despite being beaten by Google’s Gmail in terms of the number of new accounts established for the last couple of months according to comScore. This shows how crucial it is for each Search Engine to dominate this aspect since Email allows user loyalty by staying further into the Search Engine site which in turn translates to better advertising opportunities.
Yahoo! Mail will be hosting new mail accounts under two new domains which is Ymail.com and Rocketmail.com. The latter had been the result of the Four11 Corp purchase though previous Rocketmail account users weren’t included then to the Yahoo! universe until now. Free email accounts made under the new domains will also have the same features and options as the existing Yahoo! mail accounts which includes unlimited email storage space.
