(The article says he uses Yahoo for advertising). His sites are also nothing more than collections of links to Yahoo advertised sites to exploit the click-through. While the subject of the CNN article relies more on mistyped URLs, I appreciate any efforts to curb these kinds of slimey tactics to artificially drive up advertising hits.

Now if someone would get rid of all of those domain name parking pages that would be good for the internet also! So many great domain names are registered and used as parking/clickthru pages instead of being used to provide quality content to the internet. What a waste...all so some jerk squatter can continue to lay on a Cayman Islands beach hungover! This is good news.

After a reinstall of windows, and IE4..I needed to update windows thru dialup. The site that pops up first was MSN. After 7 virus and 15 bots infected the system...It was ALOT of fun trying to get anywhere. I notified MSN, that they should NOT only scan the random adverts they Pull from another site, they should evaluate If it was worth it to Infect there OWN users. I had to send MSN a note..

I know of a 15 year old kid using her mild kiddie porn on MySpace to generate up to 30 grand a month from Google by having all her friends wandering around clicking ads for each other..
