Default Yahoo Spyware PPC Click Fraud Lawsuit

From the 5 Star Affiliate Blogs

Class Action Law Suit Against Yahoo for Click Fraud Using Spyware


When I learned about YSM running PPC ads through spyware and adware companies a few weeks ago I cut my ad spend there in 1/2. Should have really just cancelled the whole account on principle, but I'm greedy and still want the Yahoo search traffic. There were reports long ago that Overture was playing in the sandbox with Gator and this lawsuit alleges Yahoo is still in bed with the wrong people and even uses these bad relationships to bump up their revenue around earnings times.

Our friend Ben Edelman is on the case and helping once again to fight adware and clean up our industry.

Too many links to copy. Go read it then come back to discuss.
