LOL, isn't that against AdSense T&C's?
Unless they are only testing one service per page.... which would reduce the validity of the test, wouldn't it? No like for like comparison...
Seems that they don't show
Seems that they don't show the ads on the same page
Doesn't that reduce the validity of the test then?
After all, different pages will perform differently anyway... not getting comparative data will reduce the value of the test quite a bit, IMO. You might still get the right answer, but you could never be SURE...
Relevancy and earnings...
I believe they are comparing ad relevancy and earnings. Flickr, which was purchased by Yahoo in March, has been testing this for a couple of months now. It rotates between Yahoo, AdSense and no ads.
I compared the relevancy between the two sets of ads on about a dozen or so Flickr pages last month and Yahoo definitely needs some work on this.
Takes a headline to get
Takes a headline to get attention eh? We discussed this ages ago, in another thread :)

Yes Jeanstar this is what Yahoo says, but it's curious that they are testing both at the same time.
Seems ads are been shown random, i don't know how can they compare them
