Thanks for the addendum Adam. This part does make me smile though:

Decide if you’d like to modify your paid search campaigns to compensate for any changes in organic referrals that you anticipate.

We’re making changes and if you’re not satisfied you can pay us to compensate on the bad work we might be doing.

The Yahoo Marketing Team has provided the following for organic search:

Compare your organic search rankings on Yahoo! Search and Bing for the keywords that work best for you.
Decide if you’d like to modify your paid search campaigns to compensate for any changes in organic referrals that you anticipate.
Review the Bing webmaster tools and optimize your website for the Microsoft platform crawler, as Bing listings will be displayed for approximately 30% of search queries after this change, according to comScore.

Even though they are experimenting with the organic and paid listings in the U.S. and Canada only , It would only be a matter of time before it is rolled out globally.

That is one thing they have understood. People usually associated the search engine to the company itself. Now it will be stand up or die. In any case, the traffic generated (other than Google) will remain “Bing” traffic in the coming years. You’ll have to live with this.
