mfishy - I agree with you on the issue of authoritive sites, but still think a combination of algo and hand editing will ultimately produce the best quality serps.

Yahoo is prone to this more than Google, as hand editing was how they did it once upon a time.

Right now though the serps in Yahoo are a mess. Across many categories too, not just one or two.

I hope they fine tune things alot from what we seeing today.
