After a careful review, however, we must stand by our original decision to decline your listings.

While reviewing your site, we found that you provide a direct link to Adult Friend Finder which in turn is hosting a link to 'Alt.com', a site that offers content that Yahoo! Search Marketing does not want to be associated with. We request that you remove this link before we review your listings further.

As you know, Yahoo! Search Marketing is committed to providing search users with highly relevant search results. Applying our Listing Guidelines consistently across all listings helps us maintain the level of quality our affiliate partners and search users expect. By meeting these expectations, Yahoo! Search Marketing is able to secure and renew distribution agreements and ultimately deliver more targeted leads to you.

hehe, you should see this one case I had, they were on crack.
They wanted a username/password as their editors always like to jack off for free at first. Then, they went into the videos section, clicked on videostore, then searched for the word torture and found a title called toe nails torture. Overture does not support BDSM and wants me to remove the video from the store (which of course is an upsell from the members area of a paysite I don't own).

Your best bet, wait a week, re-submit.

damn that's ridiculous ... you link to a site which links to a site that they don't like.

Are you fuckin' kidding me???

iwantchixx · 06-10-2005, 07:21 PM

so let me get this straight, YOU are responsible for a link that someone you link to has on a site you don't even own?

They're on crack.

Send this back to the fuckers (point out #5) and tell them that you expect the site linking to it to be shut down within 24 hours or you will write to their AUP department...
