I'm curious. Does having them in a different section to normal search
results with the title "SPONSOR RESULTS (What's this?)" in red not
actually count?

I admit that I may be biased because I work on the search team at Yahoo! 
but still ...

... anyway, I'm in agreement with Christina - it's very frustrating 
watching people saying bizarrely stupid things (I'm not implying you 
Boniface) on various forums and not being able to respond.

In parting I'd remind you all that you are not average web users.
