We have created an advertising system that rewards consumers for becoming actively educated about the advertiser website and its products/services. In our model, advertisers are only charged for consumers that spend quality time on a web site. We deliver a more informed consumer to the advertiser and increase the brand exposure many times over conventional marketing methods.

If people had to stay on your site for say at least one or two minutes before the click counted, I think it would go a long way to minimizing the chilling effect of click fraud on advertisers and on the advertising industry.

First, make it an option to opt out of their Affiliate Programs - let us CHOOSE what websites we want to have our ads show up when searches are initiated. Second, make a designated "time" someone needs to be on the site before charging us for it. I don't mind paying for legitimate clicks from real customers. Ultimately, it is a little bit like letting a fox watch the chickens. I KNOW that the above can be accomplished if Yahoo is serious about protecting their advertisers - if they only knew how much opportunity there is for them to DO IT RIGHT and dominate this industry by DOING IT RIGHT. My hope is they will read the above ideas and respond with implementing the above ideas then I would LOVE YAHOO SEARCH MARKETING!

Why don't you do the smart, honorable and measurable thing and just let us pay for BUSINESS generated instead of "Clicks" that you admit are meaningless and ripe for fraud? I'm not saying you are committing the fraud but just look at the temptation and the lack of measure!!!! I'm not paying for nothing anymore. Out of the click game and out of the banner game. Neither work. Yahoo!
