Yahoo Watch has its own Yahoo search proxy
"Unlike on Yahoo's site, on this proxy it is easy to see which links are PPC/PFI (pay per click and/or pay for inclusion) in the algorithmic results, by noting the huge redirected URLs with yahoo.com/click in them. "
Hmmm, when I search for "Digital Ink Weblog" the address shows:
rdre1.yahoo.com/click?u=http://digink.blogspot.com&y=0252247A327B0600&i=482&c=
8540&q=02%5ESSHPM%5BL7%7Bvxvk~s%3Fvqt%3Fhz%7Dspx6&e=
utf-8&r=0&d=wowenus&n=E9IK5H5OOLEK14GO&s=
204&t=&m=405DC95F&x=01297A6A0BB80180
Now what does that mean? I didn't do any pay per click....
