It's been said that yahoo considers linklists to be link farms, one of the things mentioned in your reply.

Fonz, you should write them and see if you get back the same reply.

Linklists haven't been a good way to get yahoo traffic pretty much from the beginning of their new database and search. Small young linklists can show up for a while but sooner or later as they grow they trip the algorithim and get the boot.

Nobody knows for sure except a few yahoo engineers, but I would bet money that when they started there was a manual list, and that folks like linkster and jay got put on that manual list. But, they added to that an algo that looks for certain behaviors and that algo does most of the work of culling linklists and the like now.
