When Yahoo is going to clean out all the ebay junk?

    Do a search on any topics on yahoo, you will see something like "fine such-such on ebay". It's really a waste of time and bandwith. I wish the search engine will allow users to exclude certain sites.

    Are you referring to the PPC ads? Google has them too! I agree, something needs to be done. But $$$ talks!!

    They're having a negative affect the overall relevance of the PPC programs.

    I think he means the scripted results in the organic section - search for 'super dooper booger flinger' and you get - 'find super dooper booger flingers on EBAY'

    It is spam, pure and simple. I don't know the programing behind it, but to see this come up on every search is lame.

    Yeh, I am talking about the normal search not the ppc program. To get ahead of the spam, you have to be 'lucky" or pay. Sucks!

    Do you have an example term? I'm not seeing this.

    I tried "super dooper booger flingers" but nothing came up. ;)

    Sorry, I just threw that in there. But I don't remember what terms have been that I have searched for and got those ebay spam ads.

    its been a while since I have searched yahoo except to check my listing.
