From today's version of the Axandra newsletter (http://www.axandra.com):


Yahoo has combined its own proprietary anti-spam technology with Yahoo Mail's SpamGuard technology to help filter out irrelevant, redundant or low-quality URLs and links. Taking advantage of the synergies between Yahoo Search and Yahoo Mail, these two services will share data to reduce spam and further improve the user experience across Yahoo.

Web sites that try to cheat Yahoo with unethical search engine optimization methods such as cloaking will have a hard time with Yahoo.
Anyone have any information about this?
