I have seen behind the curtain and you would be amazed (ok, probably not) at how a very high percentage of profitable SE traffic is centered around just a few areas.

Steveb is right on. This is not news at Yahoo.

I'd add that it is their SE and Yahoo can do whatever they want with it to get it to perform in whatever way they believe is most useful to their customers, ad buyers and stockholders.

It's 2005, not 1995. Neither Yahoo nor Google has to prove anything to anyone anymore. Except that they can make money.
