Furthermore, companies like Google continue to outspend Yahoo in areas like research and development. Mayer’s company also has a hard time convincing some of the tech industry’s finest to join them over their competitors.

Part of Google’s immense search success on phones and tablets is through mobile search. However, Yahoo is looking to get a piece of the pie, acquiring three different startups focusing on mobile revenues: Snip.it, OnTheAir, and Stamped. The acquisitions, according to Mayer, are moreso for the engineering talent than the products offered.

It appears to be a long road ahead for Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO), who, despite some impressive numbers, still has lots to prove. Watch for the release of their numbers in the coming months to continue to track Mayer’s work: the numbers are certainly getting better, but they aren’t good enough for me yet.
