Why Google beat Yahoo in the war for the Internet? (Insights about most popular websites)

It is January 2001 - Yahoo receives ~627 million visits per month & Google is no where in the landscape.

Fast forward to June 2005 - Google & Yahoo at 6 billion monthly visits.

Why/How Google beat Yahoo?

I think the reason is Far sightedness. Basis points:

1. Google takes over in June, 2005. "Google built a broad platform that extends across the entire web by focusing on simplicity and flexibility, while the complexity of Yahoo’s infrastructure may be the reason it ends up as a small part of another business." - https://techcrunch.com/2016/05/22/why-google-beat-yahoo-in-the-war-for-the-internet/. - Because of this google took over in June 2005.
2. Yahoo took over again in Sep, 2008. But till then google had already bought youtube & android. Google finally takes over in July 2010, with launch of nexus devices.

Other interesting metrics:

1. Youtube was created in Feb 2005, it took only 1 year to land up on 10 most visited sites(357M). Google bought it in Nov 2006(600M) for $1.6B.
2. Google bought Android - July 2005(3B)for $50M, launched in 2008. Nexus is launched Jan, 2010.
3. Facebook took over Myspace in Jan, 2008(1B)
