How does Yahoo use our questions and answers to make money?

Posted in Digital Kitchen Scales - by admin | April 22nd, 2010

Here is a clue:

I referenced "bathroom scales" in my previous question and I was splashed by:

Digital Scales for: Kitchen, Personal, Pocket, Portable, Body…
more-stuff4sale.com

Bathroom Scales at Great Prices
Bathroom Scales on sale and in stock for immediate shipment….
www.itinscales.com

Digital Bathroom Scales Starting at
Quality, name-brand bathroom scales at…
www.medicalproductsdirect.com

(now, that we know how Yahoo makes money "off of us", can we put pressure on Yahoo to stop allowing "fanatical idiots" to delete our questions and "suspend" our accounts?

What say ye?
(If you know me, you know I have never said anything bad about anyone for the last 2 years. However, I now declare that those people who have been unfairly reporting us and deleting our accounts are …… , those people are indeed , "fanatical idiots".

    Gadzooks, Batman! You have given us a means to collect sponsors who can be told that a boycott will be declared on their product unless there are some changes made. That certainly explains why I did not catch the pattern here because my questions are all over the map. I use another forum for horse talk, and have been getting racy singles ads. I am posting questions to find the right "stud" for a mare that we are breeding next spring. Must be proven stud, preferably large. She’s a big girl and ready to go!

    As a person who is recovering from 17 year battle with an eating disorder it doesn’t sit well (not using an expletive in case someone is hypersensitive)……threw out my scale this year and proud of it! My take, it’s a pile of rotting crap!

    Uncle, now we know their deep dark secret.

    I’ve wondered why someone would simply offer this service for free…so they have to make money someplace.

    So, what does that mean when I keep getting Olive Garden ads on my screens? Do they figure somehow that I love pasta???? (Said with the mental imagery of the Twilight Zone Theme Song in the background)

    I’m with you. I always new something was behind getting my account being deleted. I shoulda bought those darn scales, I guess.
