Y!Q - Free Contextual Ad Network for Yahoo!

Yesterday we tried to clarify some of the buzz around the recent press release by Yahoo! named the Y!Q Challenge. Y!Q is basically a snippet of code you add to your pages that allows a user to search yahoo from your page. For an example of this, check out a single searchblog entry and see the Y!Q button. A WebmasterWorld thread rightly points out that Y!Q Challenge doesnt pay for the clicks. It is not a program like AdSense where they share the revenue generated. Now maybe, just maybe, that is the reason for the Challenge and $5,000 jackpot.
