There are ALWAYS other factors. I think you mean that's the only one you could think of. Yahoo is weird and their updates seem to be weird too - it's never been a great source of traffic for me. But I run the Coop on a couple of sites and use ads to link to other sites - the Coop sites rank better in Yahoo than sites that do not display the Coop ads. It's something we keep hearing but I just don't see the evidence that the Coop is being targeted.
It's possible that it wasn't specifically because the Coop, could be something like adding too many links within a specific period, could be adding too many random links from unrelated sites, could be too many transient links, or any other factor that might come from the Coop but not be Coop specific. And, no, there wouldn't be other factors. This is a site that's so strong in it's industry that the only way it would drop totally out of the SERPs like that is because it was intentionally delisted. Could have been a manual delisting or an auto delisting, no way for me to know, but it was delisted and there is no other reason that it would have been delisted than that it had a decent amount of Coop weight pointed at it.
Were you following what happened to various sites in Google during the Jagger update? What makes you think the Yahoo results are immune?
I'm not talking about the folks who whine because the latest update whiped out their scraper sites. LoL This is the kind of site that it doesn't show up in the search engine then people wonder what's the problem with the search engine, not what's wrong with the site. I'm not going to post what the site is, but I'd PM it to you if you'd agree to not disclose what I'm talking about.
If you wish but my point was that some major sites "disappeared" from Google during Jagger too, and then reappeared. Now if I owned one of those sites and concluded it was the Coop and removed the Coop ads in the interim before it reappeared, I might conclude it really was a Coop penalty. Or if I emailed Google in the interim and right after I did the site reappeared, I might think it was the email. In reality, it was just Google adjusting and nothing I was doing was affecting anything. The real problem for the "Coop theory" is why all these other Coop sites are NOT being "banned".
Check the Jagger threads here at DP - I don't recall offhand although it seems to me that sites on the order of Amazon were mentioned... someone else may recall more specifically.
The DigitalPoint Coop Ad Network: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/ You set up the Coop ads on your site and add either text ads or banner ads to the Coop pool to have yours displayed on other sites in the Coop.

Hi again, Thanks to all responds, Buying a trafic to my site is a good thinks or bad, there is a site that offer hits to your site, i guess from China, is this is good or Bad. Thank you again
Probably more bad than good. As I said earlier, if you can tell people what site you're talking about, you might get more specific information or assistance.
