If you have, it's apparent whether you've seen the interface or not. I remember one time I had a hand job w/i the top ten results of a buzz search that was featured on the Yahoo home page. I was number 1 & 2 for the search. That day featured within the buzz results it pulled a ton of traffic - a one day total that'll get you 1/3 way into the UPS club. I am sure Yahoo employees directly reviewed the serps and my listing. A short time later ... poof. Hand job. It suprised me a bit that it wasn't quicker/instantaneous.

Obviously, there isn't any way to verify the authenticity of the screen capture, but I can say that if it is fake, the person who made it has been to Yahoo and seen the real version because it looks exactly like the Yahoo interface I saw when I was there last August.

He stated that Yahoo will look through their search result and if they do not see the sites they would expect to see at the top (like GEICO and Progressive for “auto insurance�) then they would make “modifications� to get the right sites to the top. I took this as a hint that beyond changes to the algo, there were some blatant “handjobs� going on at Yahoo. I could be wrong, but it seems to make sense.
