Is it true that Yahoo gives your site a better ranking the more it is clicked in their search results pages? If it is true, is it worth me clicking my website a lot when I see it listed in Yahoo SERPs?
Thanks for your help.

No i wouldnt bother if i were you...it would just be wasting time for doing other more important things like getting links and making your website bigger and better........+ yahoo can tell if the same person is clicking on which website over and over, if they even use that as a ranking. its only a myth.

I agree with dazz, I don't think clickthrough popularity is a factor in rankings.

Although not a factor in rankings, the most clicked on listings in Yahoo get double listed on their respective category pages (in both the "most popular" and the alphabetical sections), which in return leads to a higher link popularity (PR) for the site.
Anyone know how Yahoo determines the "most popular" listings?
