Why would you want to emulate Yahoo! ?? So many sites out there already do that - just look at any other search engine /amazon.com/barnes&noble ... etc. etc.

I think Yahoo's strong point was getting themselves known .. advertising is everything - especially in the beginning.
As you mentioned - they forked out a lot of money on advertising - no need to go all out on their design when all that branding could guarantee so many visitors.

Don't try to copy them - IMHO I think the internet's too big a place to have another 3 columned site with links scattered all over it.
(Unless you have billions to spend getting yourself known [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] )

I hope you'll change your mind and re-think how your site will be layed out - design-wise. The internet can be a cold, fickle world ... and who's to say the Yahoo! look will be in fashion in a few months.

(I say this to encourage your imagination, and not as a critisicm).
