martinibuster,

They are not cloked or redirected. Let me explain in more detail. 5 of the top 10 results are for this same company using seperate domains. EVERY one of these 5 pages has the same content and all are on the same ip. just different domains.

Add to that, another 5 seperate pages / domains from the same company in the same top 20 all on the same ip.

They have some random keyword targeted content but all links are to the affiliate merchant.

While it is hard to filter out affiliates, having the exact same pages on different domains show for the same search is a big loophole in the Yahoo serp. I guess this goes to prove Yahoo has very poor or no dup content filters. Add to that they do not seem to take into account the ip / server domains are hosted on into account.
