Paid listings included within organic results?

Did anyone notice these properties in title url links for search results:

http://rdre1.yahoo.com/click?u=http://1.pttf.com/rdn...
http://rdre1.yahoo.com/click?u=http://www.idifpro.com/c...

When these links are included (after website url), the title of website displayed in search results does not reflect actual site title. (Kinda dmoz effect on Google) Anyone has any insight on this?

Good catch...it took me a while but this is actually Yahoo paid basic search submission.

You have to pay $50 per url up to 5 and it allows you to control how your title appears and also it seems that yahoo gives preference to these url..

Unethical.....
