The only thing that this site has on it is sponsored results from yahoo. No content, nothing but ads. I am not sure how this site works. Is the owner of this website getting money from yahoo for each click? I just need a little help understanding what this site is doing. Currently 5% of my web traffic is coming from them.

Thanks for any help with this.

We emailed yahoo and they said that it is a valid site. Should they not be banned from the program for having a site like that.

One other thing is I can't find them in the search engines any where and yet still 5% of our web traffic is coming from them.

Are you sure it's sending traffic and not referral spam (http://www.itamer.com/referral-spam/55/)?

I don't think it is referral spam, I read that article and am still unsure.
