I am seeing the "Sponsored Listings" showing up below the first 3 Yahoo listings, instead of on top like they used to be.

The Overture listings are in the 4, 5, 6 positions and have a box drawn around them.

This only shows up on certain searches. Has this been happening for a while ??? First time I've seen it.

If this sticks, I will certainly lower my Overture bids.

I LIKE IT !!!

I'm seeing it on and off. If this stays then all I've got to say is 'Well done Y!'. Let's hope it stays and other SE's follow suit.

Bring Back Quality Results and NOT Paid Listings.

Is it just me, or do the returned serps seem to be more relevant than before?

Not all search terms show the Overture listings as 4, 5, 6. It's very sporatic!

I noticed they added 2 sponsered matches at bottom of first serp.

I see some "Inside Yahoo! Matches" Thats Yahoo!'s subdomains

(sometimes followed by category matches)

followed by

"Sponsor Matches" (3)

followed by

"Web Site Matches" (20)

And it ends by

"More Sponsor Matches" (2)

They link to same page for explanations about "Sponsor Matches".

I'm seeing only two overture results below the first three Yahoo results on some searches. But, most still show 3 overture results.

It stuck during my first visit but went back to the normal sponsers on top routine when I left and returned to check again 5 mins later.
