The Yahoo! Smash and Grab – Yahoo!, I believe, is so wound up about making more profit for their swaying company, that they are willing to throw new marketers under the bus.  There’s no other logical explanation.  When I first started marketing with Yahoo! and discovered all these “undesirable” sites my ads where being shown [...]
