Is it normal for 80% of traffic on YSM to come from addresses other than search.yahoo.com? It seems like all of my traffic is coming from sites that only display sponsored links and spend no time whatsoever on my landing page. The visitors from the actual search engine tend to spend at least 2 minutes on a fairly small page reading. I have content match off, is it just Yahoo letting this go on to increase clicks or am I doing it wrong?
 


block all the sources that don't convert and don't worry, Yahoo will discount all those low quality clicks so you end up paying what you getting.

I read in one of the really old threads that you have to keep adding sites. I blocked tons last night and sure enough, new ones pop up. Just keep adding them and eventually they will run out?
 
Yahoo has given me 10x the traffic as normal in the past week. It is very poor quality traffic though - which made my CTR plummet.

Something is going on over there
 
keep blocking the sources it's one way.
I don't know if you guys ever been on the publishers side of the yahoo search feed but basically sending crap traffic is not manageable for more than 3 days otherwise you end up getting discounted and scrubbed. It's not like at Ask .
