I was checking out my awstats, and I noticed I was getting a large number of hits from Search Engine Roundtable.
Randi Harper, a Service Engineer who has been working at Yahoo! since November 2006 (see linkedin profile) has some harsh words for Yahoo's contextual advertising product.
... my post ...
Wow. But Randi isn't the first Yahoo blogger to call out Yahoo's contextual network or be called out for it.
What the fuck???? Reading comprehension for the win. I'm dissing Google Adsense here. Nice try, guys. It's clear from the fucking title of the site that I'm talking about adsense. Anyone with half a brain can see that I'm currently using Google Adsense on my site. Yes, I was informed of the YPN services that we offer after I made my post. I haven't switched yet because my account still hasn't been approved.
This is a bunch of bullshit. Go join the staff of Valleywag if you want to keep up with this nonsense. You fail at life.
He _did_ finally correct himself, though: "This post is a mistake - please ignore. I do sincerely apologize."
Yes, and I do appreciate this. I was out drinking last night when I found this. Needless to say, I was a bit upset over the whole thing. I think I even went so far as to call his office. Meh.
What a helluva lot of confusion. Nice the guy apologized. I just started at Y! and went through the indoctrination. I got the sense that they are touchy about people blogging... did you, or do you, get any crap for this or other posts? (even though it wasn't actually about yahoo)
