Competitive Yahoo! SERPs are Rubbish

I don’t regularly monitor many results in Yahoo! – mainly because of the whole market share thing, and the fact that they are really erratic. Its still dissapointing to see this for the ultra-competitive SERP for “credit cards“….
Let me tell you the things I don’t like:
- There are 14 paid ads and 10 natural results. Not right.
- Creditcards.co.uk is a basic affiliate site – I reckon it is at #2 purely because of the domain name.
- Moneygem and AOL on the first page? Really? Do they really give the user that much value?
- There are only 3 actual credit card providers!
I genuinely believe that this SERP is a lot less useful than the Google SERP.
