for internet business, a common income is from advertisement, company will pay web sites for advertisement.

there's a referral model as well, for example, if u click abc.com from google, then abc.com will google, it's like commission

for retail store like amazon, they gain income from selling products as well

for search engine, they generate income from selling their web sites info, like yahoo has 1 million web sites registering with them (meaning those web sites can be searched in yahoo), and search engine z has only 0.2million web sites, z company will buy those web sites info form yahoo and paying for this
