Would this be against any Yahoo policies?

    I want to make a site with reviews and help tutorials on different yahoo functions (i.e. yahoo mail, yahoo maps, etc.). I would call it something like yahooadvice.info, or something along those lines. Is there anything against the law or yahoo rules involving this?

    Possibly might have problems with "yahoo" in domain. I would contact Yahoo about the them before you did anything.

    They own the trademark name "Yahoo", if they wanted they would be able to get it from you.

    Thanks. I dont neccesarily need to have yahoo in the domain. I could just use the letter y to represent "Y!" Im sure they cant trademark the letter y.

    just make sure you don't put the red Y! on your site.

    and "this site is not affiliated with Yahoo blahblahblah..." footer is always good

    Good idea. This is more of a $3 .info experiment than a real website. Its either gonna be a huge hit or really suck.
