Yahoo! have just released a helpful Publisher’s Guide to RSS which has comprehensive sections on Submitting RSS Feeds, promoting RSS feeds, Tracking Success and Monetizing RSS Feeds.
On the money side of things the page is just a place holder/teaser of what is to come. They write:
‘Yahoo! plans to introduce new products and services to support online publishers, including new publishing tools and advertising products.’
This is a good example of how Yahoo! are really embracing RSS where as other search engines seem to be lagging.
If you haven’t already Submitted your RSS feeds to yahoo I’d do it today – it’s definitely worth doing.

However, it still holds 4th on Yahoo and the data bundled with it is much more organized and useful. Google search results can be a bit of a shambles.
