Ok, is it just me, who had a long vacation or is it something new?

I just typed in a search phrase at Yahoo and instead of 3 listings from Overture, I am seeing 5.

When did this started?

Do you mean three at the top and two at the bottom?

Nope what I saw was Five [5] on top and Two [2] at the bottom. I used 3 different search phrases.

However, rightnow for the same phrases I am seeing only 3 at the top. I guess I should have use *screen capture* :(

I don't know, may be they might be testing something or using different pattern during weekends or late at night or.....

Has anyone else seen this ?

Hey NeedScripts,

I haven't seent his before, but I've seen many different things lately.

Yahoo seems to be testing many things. Sometimes I type in a query and get results from Yahoo Web Sites, then refresh and the results are from Yahoo Web Pages, then the Overture ads are huge, then back to normal.

They're probably testing what suits users best.
