Is Yahoo now useless as an adult search engine?

On the other question that was brought up about Yahoo seeming to show referrers in site logs but not being able to find the listings I did find the answer - seems that a lot of surfers never clear their cookies - and if they still have an old cookie from before Yahoo switched over to their own database, Yahoo still has that cookie going to the old results database fed by Google - they havent paid any attention to it yet - and for some reason they've neglected to fix their old cookie direction script

That would explain it perfectly... I never thought about that!

thanks man.
