I just noticed that when you look up a Yahoo Directory category page in the Google cache (e.g. Computers And Internet > Software > Archives), the site listings have no redirects.

Compare this..
[dir.yahoo.com...]

..to this:
[72.14.203.104...]

Anyone seen this before?

It's not just Google's cache - I see the same thing in the Yahoo and MSN cache.

I've never noticed that before.

I see a page cached on jan 18 shows the redirect.
A different page cached on jan 19 shows the clear link.

The new cache of the Software > Archives category (see link above) now dates January 27 and it has the new style results, no redirects, but now each site seems to have two links instead of one (e.g. "CNET Downloads CNET Downloads").
