I just did a Google search for <snip>, and noticed that the 5th result was from shopping.yahoo.com. More importantly, the only place <snip> was mentioned on the page was in ad text. Google has long maintained they will keep organic and paid seperate, but if you can pay for a link on Yahoo and then Google indexes it as natural, it would seem to defeat that. I haven't noticed this behavior before, is this new, or have I just missed it before?
