Warning: Yahoo Takes a Step Towards Ripping You Off

If your website optimization is done by Yahoo, pay very close attention. Yahoo has basically disclosed in their Terms of Service that they now intend to change your search terms, alter your premium optimization services and charge you for the result whether you approve of it or not.

This means they are in deep trouble and will most than likely be merged or bought out in 2009. Yahoo has been going down this path as their searches continue to decline.

Pathetic, thanks for the info and heads up.

Agreed Eric, Yahoo is in deep trouble. They are just too hard headed to take Microsoft's offer to buy the company. Instead, they are probably going to wait until they are an also ran, and then they will take an offer for about 10% of what Microsoft offered them last year. In the same vein, I got a call from Yahoo the other day that was very pushy and almost rude. They said they could give me a special deal on optimization, but I had to decide right then (while I was out for dinner), or they would go to the next realtor. Of course, I kept my money, but your are right, Realtors, be careful.

This is interesting, It is amazing that a company could spurn a merger and now be worth 25% of the offer or less

JAN

That is WHY they are worth less. I think Microsoft may be rethinking the idea itself.
