    If I recall correctly, they do two things for the seach engines - and Jack left town (meaning they're worse than useless).

    The y_key is the meta tag verification element for Yahoo! Site Explorer, the other is the Google Webmasters Central verification element. Why they wouldn't use the file upload method is beyond me.
