Yes, but did you check their ibls and anchor text. That could be the answer.
frankly, I am pleased with yahoo. I rank well for all my targeted keyword phrases. The serps seem to be cleaner than in google, at least in my niche.
I like msn and yahoo much more than google. They let me build the site for the user and still get decent ranking. Google just wants you to build the site for them.
