Hot Yahoo Advestising Space - Make an Offer

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by wrmineo, Oct 2, 2005.

  1. #1
    At the beginning of the month, I noticed massive referrals showing up in my stats from Yahoo! Music. However, they were hits pulling a photo from my site, not visitors they were sending me. With a quick check, I was able to determine that Yahoo! was hotlinking an a rather large, high quality image from one of my sites.

    Attempts to contact Yahoo! were fruitless to put it midly. Only after I changed the photo to show one of my domain names and shared the story at this and other forums did they bother to change the photo and stop stealing my bandwidth - on that page and photo at least. Here's how that page appeared after I altered the pic:

    On another Yahoo! page, it is obvious that Yahoo! is still up to their same tactics, and no easier to contact to correct and stop them from stealing my bandwidth without so much as an acknowlegement or a thank you.

    For nearly a full month, I have been giving a website that a fellow webmaster created for the Hurricane Katrina Survivors as seen here:
    [​IMG]

    So to bring a long story to a quick close, I've simply decided to make the most of the bad situation. I'm selling advertising space on Yahoo! Hurry this offer may not last.

    Can be view at Yahoo! Music:

    If you can't beat 'em, exploit 'em. Or as Paris Hilton would say, "That's Hot!"

    LMAO..Classic.. Well done.

    Or would Paris say "Hotly done"? Nah, me thinks not. Probably just "Sexy"!

    Think some of my sites would be too "sexy" to advertise there! Wouldn't mention them here as they may offend some views (but please others) :)

    Man, I would honestly not even changed the image. Your original one had a watermark with your URL! How cool is that to have on Yahoo for a while. It could only help.
