Yahoo directory is no longer alphabetically ranking pages. Instead it uses link poularity as a factor. In addition, Yahoo directory titles and descriptiosn have no effect in ranking in Yahoo Search. They just simply grab the title and description of those site slisted in the directory, but don;t apply those towards rankings.
no doubt yahoo will be the top result on their SE....i tried to search on other engines..and found out that altavista,yahoo has yahoo on the first position while askjeeves also got their SE itself on the top... lol looks like they really are manipulating this results...fare enough for Googel cause altavista is on their first list...
