I have just noticed that Yahoo placed a keyword rich hyphenated domain above my listing. It is a one page site with a small photo and "click here" When you click on it it directs to a different domain. Has anyone else experienced this? Is yahoo! just listing every site that pays?

In one category I am in there are 10 listings out of 35 like this and many go to the same site! It is getting rediculious. www.keyword1-kw2-kw3-kw4-kw5.com

I've emailed Yahoo, but I don't expect a response...

That's a shame. I am not suprised to hear it though. Good thing I have a ton of hyphenated domains though because they seem to be doing well on all search engines, not only Yahoo.

Yahoo's pretty desperate for money, they're listing everything. Also, people can submit one site and switch to another once they're in, and in most cases, Yahoo will never find out, or at least for a very long time.
