Why would yahoo match these pop-ups with my site?
Sure my site is political, but I don't think any of my visitors will be storming over to those sponsored links, do you?

2. I doubt Yahoo's using people
to scan sites and match ads. Using keywords like Republican, GOP, and Conservative is probably one thing that triggered the match.

4. That makes sense then. Although I think I might
be in their directory under politics, which might also have done it.

At least these are in the same realm. I have seen them pair up the oddest sponsored links with websites at times. *scratching head*

8. Because it's political. That's as in depth as the matching gets.

9. Terry Semel (Yahoo CEO)
is a Bush power ranger. Hosts parties in his mansion for Bush/Cheney.
Don't know about how pop-ups are assigned, but it is important to know that Yahoo is run by a right-wing extremist.

10. That really sucks that he is a Bu$hite. On the plus side, though,
I kinda like having yahoo host (for free) my little anti-neoconservatism and fundagelical website. ;)
