The top listings in Yahoo's search results pages are now "Sponsor Results" followed by "Top 20 Web Results" then "More Sponsor Results."
<added> This is intermittent, but looks like it will be here to stay.

ummm... I think it's been like this for over a year. Am I missing something here or did I misread your post?

Guess I'm outa touch, but when I did a search a couple days ago (when I posted) there were 4 or more Sponsor Results at the top which made the page look drastically differernt to me. I then closed the browser, came back and searched again for the same terms and there were no Sponsor Results at all. So at the time, it looked like something new.

Sounds like you saw something new with no sponsors showing at the top. That would be nice.

Yes, I have received straight web results, no sponsor ads a few times these last couple of days.

Are these terms that nobody is bidding on perhaps?

No, the terms searched were ones I work regularly.
