Yahoo maps seems not working good with their own source But Yahoo search use more than Google.

So your telling me if I enter:

I called the number on the Yahoo! local listing!

It said

“Hi, if you are looking for the Dude’s Fish Store, leave a message. If you are looking for Rudy, call my cell phone.”

I did not leave a message, because as we all know, Matt Cuttts works for the NSA! But I wish it shed some more light on this, I think its an accident, but you would think the Dude would be more likely to have a bowling supply store…

Very nice find, Chris. At first, looking at this links page

http://ca.local.yahoo.biz/thedudesfishstore/links.html

by some feminine-intuition-based, knee-jerk, purely reactive reasoning (not to mention the blatant linguistic clue) at first I figured it to be Chris Raimondi or even (forgive me), off all people, the embodiment of establishmentarianism personified, Woz.

However, after looking at the contact page, it again begins to look like more of an inside job.

Hi Matt,

Everyone who follows the search engines knows that YAHOO manually adjust the search results. The real question people want answered is when will google confess that they do that same thing from time to time?

I can show you a site for example that has been #1 in a very competitive area for 4 years …. NEVER ONCE FLUXED out of thjat #1 spot for 4 years. Well now matt … your a smooth talker but no one would believe with all the FLUX at google the past 4 years that this could occure without some manual FIXING of that postion.

So my question is WHO DO I SPEAK TO TO BUY THIS SAME SPOT?? I think it is fair that google AUCTION those spots instead of just let one company have an exclusive on them.
Is that not a more fair approach??

So why dont google start having public auctions of those top spots??

I think that yahoo local listing came from a Googler. It seems to have their sense of humor. So it’s really Google who listed the local listing in Yahoo and Yahoo sweeped it for their Beta Maps
