Our Screen Names In Other's Sites??
Once in a while I will google/yahoo for stuff when I am bored. Today I searched Yahoo for "dougchips" (one word), the first two results link back to this site and all of the others are other sites using our screen names to draw traffic. One has diggler, double A and downeast.
Why would another site embed our names to get traffic? Why when I search for my company name does e-bay says I sell my stuff on e-bay, I don't! When you search for "dead children" on yahoo e-bay has them also!

That's just an advertising relationship Ebay has with Yahoo, basically they have paid them for a link to Ebay from Yahoo based on any search someone does. It sticks you search terms in the results.

When I saw that evertime I searched for a item they would have something in the paid area. I even searched "feces", and e-bay has "feces for less". I figured they had to draw the line somewhere, dead children are ok but they stay away from some sexual terms. md, yahoo your screen name, "mc donalds fry cook"?
