Whypark is basically a website auto-generator. This is the same thing Blackhat SEO's use to build gigantic networks of websites. Nothing wrong or illegal about this, but as far as Google is concerned it is just spam. Blackhat SEO's have been having their Adsense accounts banned for years now. Just read your post, Julia.

The domain channel also contains some of the best of the best traffic. Google has done an extremely good job of keeping the quality in check; Yahoo has not. Because of this, all of Yahoo's syndicated traffic is undervalued. Julia, what the hell is MFA? Is the United Press International's web site MFA, because it sure looks like it -- http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Science/2008/02/10/space_mission_postponed/9889/ This has absolutely nothing to do with how a web site looks. It has to do with traffic quality. Traffic quality is measured only by numbers. Google's "MFA" crackdown was nothing of the sort; it was an arbitrage crackdown.

My take on the situation is that, with Google now doing a mass clean out of MFA sites and MFA providers, they are setting their stall out as the "clean" ad network. By the time Yahoosoft / MicroHoo roll out their platform its likely to be full of arbitragers, cruddy domains and bad traffic - all of which will damage any new ad network they try and sell to the advertisers..

Can we all boycott Google and move to Yahoo? I guess this is a question where domaineer will not consider doing it. I'm one of them. What other options do we have? Regards, Emil I totally agree with you btothec.
