Google may track who you are and what you search for, but Yahoo does worse by tracking what links you click on from searches! (along with who you are)
I don't mind people knowing what I searched for, though I really don't link people knowing what results I actually choose!
Could it be they are feeding ads into their redirection system? All of those rd.yahoo links all go through a redirector (in case you hadn't noticed that they now track everything you click on) which they could also build ads off. Click a search result and get an ad..
