How will they be able to pay a higher revenue share for distribution than Microsoft can? The reason that Yahoo!'s core search revenues were so brutalized was the terrible set of features which forced you to buy fraudulent traffic if you wanted Yahoo! Search traffic. If Yahoo! would have been less lenient with partners (and/or made better traffic filtering options) there is a good chance they would have made far more from search and been less willing to sell it off. IMHO anyhow.<br><br>Yes Yahoo! allows domain filtering...but sometimes feed from domain x appears on domain y and even if you filter domain x you still get stuck buying that traffic. Worse yet, as it goes through the domain x redirect you can't even sell all the domains y and z that are carrying the sub-syndication to block them.<br><br>Love the above graphs BTW :) They really highlight how and why Yahoo! has sunk so bad.

Yes Yahoo! allows domain filtering…but sometimes feed from domain x appears on domain y and even if you filter domain x you still get stuck buying that traffic. Worse yet, as it goes through the domain x redirect you can't even sell all the domains y and z that are carrying the sub-syndication to block them.

Love the above graphs BTW :) They really highlight how and why Yahoo! has sunk so bad.
