Similar strange result for 'cheap fights'
The following one is not so clear cut, but shows a similar problem.

Search "cheap flights" on yahoo.com, notice that Orbitz.com is number 6 and Prbitz doesn't advertise on yahoo.

Now search "cheap flights" on MSN, notice Orbitz is an advertiser (top of the sponsored sites on the right side), yet in the listing they are way down on page 3 just ahead of "teeth whitening" and "Mapquest".

It could be just a bad result.
