Words absolutely fail me that i discover that in the USA (which lets face it means that in the UK we will soon be in for some of the same in the near future) that to get in the free Yahoo listings and get the bot to visit you on a regular basis (so that the bot doesnt forget to visit your site)not only do you have to pay an annual fee for each page you want listed but also have to pay a cost per click $.15 for every visitor you get!.
What a bloody sham, what an absolute disgrace, dam greed, nothing more just dam greed and out and out financial extraction!!!
Well i tell you something guys, if Yahoo want to pull this trick in the UK i for one will be telling them right where to shove it. What do they want here? - just lists of paid entries showing up for every search term. Its bad enough paying to list per click under the sponsored adverts let alone in the free listings aswell!
And what use will Yahoo become as a search engine in the longer term?. Zero use frankly, just a site full of paid adverts! i will not use this search engine now on principle, i think what they are doing via overture in the US is a total, total disgrace and provides zero support to webmasters.
Wasnt the idea of a dam search engine to give results based on content from websites listings?.
This is like saying if you want your phone number listed in a phone book, if you want a featured advert you pay for it, if you want to list near the top of the page you pay for it, oh and by the way to make sure we dont forget about your number we want an annual fee off you as well and also want to charge you for anyone that wants to phone you at the same time!!! - talk about having you cake and eating it, and everyones else cake aswell by the looks of it!
Anyway, rant over, i have nothing more to say about this other than to stress how dire and what a disgrace this charging method is. With any luck the company will choke on there income.
