Philipp Lenssen has an interesting post today over at Google Blogoscoped titled: Organic Results for Spam Neighborhood Keywords. Lenssen wanted to know much real estate was devoted to organic listings on the top three engines for some of the most competitive phrases out there. While the results were good for Google and not bad for MSN, Yahoo! didn't come out looking like a very big supporter of natural search results.
Lessen ran a search for phrases like "mesothelioma," "Viagra," and "debts" and then blocked out the area of the search results dedicated to organic listings. He used 800x600 screen resolution, arguably not the most common these days, but still the least common denominator. The results are interesting and they seem to imply that Yahoo! is more than happy to rake in the cash from their search results.
