Yahoo Ads

I have recently seen a few sites being promoted by Google PPC. They are content thin and appear to be showing a block of yahoo ads although there is no "ads by yahoo" notice. Is this possible? I have never used Yahoo's Content Match so not sure how far it can be customised.

You mean arbitrage sites?

I assume they are arbitrage sites, what are i cannot work for sure is if they are yahoo ads, but they do correspond with the ads that are appearring on the search page. I thought arbitrage was dead.

arbitrage has been on its deathbed now for the last 4 years depending who you talk to but its certainly very tough to make it work and on a large scale.

2009 will probably be its last year and then only good for scraping the few stale crumbs that remain off the table.

But there is more than one way to skin a cat, however paying 20p on google to get paid the same or less by the ad provider ain't it. Nor is buying slop traffic. Don't look back look forward!

As far as I am aware it is against Yahoo's TOS to use Google's ppc to display their ads.
