Checking competitors in the New Yahoo!

How do we check sites now?

Under the previous system we had the opportunity to see our ad in relation to the other ads that were being shown through the bid tool. If we clicked on one of these ads we could see the competitor's website without causing a click to be registered.

Under the new system we have to go to either the Overture search results or Yahoo to see the competitors relative position. If we click on one of these competitor's ads we will cause a click to be registered.

This is obviously a matter for concern on both ends.

Am I missing something?

I don't know if Yahoo have ever confirmed that clicks to websites from the bid tool were not charged. Anyway that is going soon so not really a big issue.

Can you just copy and paste the URL of the site into your browser? I know it won't give you the exact landing page of the ad.
