What are your comments on this?

 

Looks like Chitika is getting all of Yahoo's ad service business.

 

ya apart from search inventory i guess.its served by microsoft right?

 

You can use Chitika or MS Adcenter or Google Adsense

 

Too bad Chitika is horrible (search engine traffic only, no displays to the publisher), and adcenter is nothing but a tiny group of elitists.
Neither of those are decent alternatives to google, which, in and of itself is a huge problem

 

dang that sucks

 

too bad..
I expect them to be a competitor of adse*se one day..
it seems my expectation is too high for them..

 

Yeah, oddly enough they paid me more in the time I used them than google ever did.

 

so how's your account man?
I heard they let the big publishers to continue with their service..

 

So Yahoo is staffed with a bunch of Executive No Talents who are killing the Brand. Microsoft is staffed with Sharks and Wolves who are milking away Yahoo Traffic and laughing at them.

 

Oh, definitely not all of it. Chitika isn't ready for those of us with direct traffic. SE ads are good, but they can't handle direct traffic right now.
