Probably not, but that headline peaked your interest, right? Still, the reason I’m wildly speculating is that there’s an article on SEO Speedwagon, along with a screen shot of a google search where they talk about something odd.
It seems that in a google search for a certain phrase, Google shows the results, then actually recommends trying the search on Yahoo, and provides a link.
What possible reason could there be for doing that? Testing customer loyalty? Measuring how many people might actually follow the Yahoo link? Well if that were the case, why would it only show up for certain searches, and not for others?
Feel free to post your conspiracy theories here…
