Yahoo penalizing AdSense pages?

Anybody else seen this?

[androidtech]

I just heard a rumour that Yahoo may be penalizing pages that have AdSense on them (demoted in SERP's or not indexed at all).

Has anybody else seen this or had anecdotal evidence to support this? (Those of you who track closely your traffic by search engine referral).

Thanks.

I watch Google/AOL, MSN, and Yahoo referrals closely and I do not see it.

haven't noticed anyhting like that, my yahoo and msn rankings havent budged (from #1 ;-)

I think that would drive the final nail in yahoo's coffin. besides, why would they would do something like that when they own google stock?

I think Yahoo sold most of its Google stock near the end of last month (2.3 million of its 2.7 million shares)...

They did sell a bunch of stock.

BUT they (Google) settled with Yahoo on a recently filed lawsuit that seeked damages for some aspect of serach or advertising technology that Y! claimed as a patent. They got a bunch more stock out of that settlement. The net (I believe) was as if they weren't selling any stock (for the most part)

? What? How do you figure that?

Cleaning up their SERPS to make them better for users is a good move for Yahoo! in the long run.

I just don't get the impression yahoo is doing fairly well regarding search market share. I do fairly well in yahoo rankings currently (page one for my keywords), yet yahoo only accounts for about 12 of my traffic referrals. I've read similar accounts here as well.

I don't think that is the same thing as penalizing sites with AdSense on them.
