Yahoo.co.jp

where do the results come from

[Adam_C]

COuld someone tell me where the search results in yahoo.co.jp come from.

Are these Google results, like .com and .co.uk?

Does it default to directory results, or a spidering index?

Thanks, in advance.

Yahoo Japan SERPs generally start with category listings from its directory, followed by a few sponsored site listings which may come from Overture Japan or Google AdWords. Then you'll have Google results followed by more sponsored site listings. This pattern may change depending on whether there are applicable directory listings or sponsored site listings for the keywords.
