The Heavyweights

If you do a search for "www" on google I see in the SERPS:

1. Yahoo
2. Altavista
3. Microsoft
4. CNN
5. Amazon
6. Adobe
7. Mapquest
8. Google
9. Excite
10. Lycos

So what factors would cause Yahoo to be at the top? I guess it shows that PR helps but is not a decider... Yahoo and others being PR9, Google and Adobe being PR10 ....

What other factors would cause these websites to secure the top position for the term "www"?

The big question is what is Altavista doing up there? Who links there or goes there?
