Turning Off Ads in Yahoo Search Marketing Content Networks: How?

Oct 5, 2007 - 10:07 am 0 by

WebmasterWorld members report that they are getting unqualified traffic from Yahoo! Search Marketing even with the content network turned off. Most of these clicks are coming from parked domains, according to advertisers.

According to Yahoo, this is expected, and soon, you'll be able to exclude domains with Yahoo's new tool.

This whole problem, however, doesn't sit well with advertisers. They fear that these are not quality sites despite a Yahoo representative's claim that these parked pages are "search partners." Overall, the advertisers feel very slighted.

Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld.
