Agoga Ads: Where are they from?

[DomainLobe]

As most know by now .cm and .co (direct navigated) names resolve to agoga.com - see K. Ham.
How are these ads served and through which company?
Thanks for your insights.

Yahoo

Thanks CyrusL!
Is it acceptable in Yahoo's TOS to have multiple domains redirect to a single ad-laden page?
How about google?
Thanks

I'm sure if you had a typo of a common and well known registry wildcarded to the ads, Yahoo wouldn't mind. :approve:

I'm sure an independent deal has be struck separate to the TOS normal Yahoo publishers are subject to. It's not like he's flying under the radar or something.

 

[DomainLobe]

True enough!
I just wonder if a mere mortal could engage in a similar strategy?

 

[CyrusL]

Yes, Yahoo is generally less strict about traffic sources than Google.

wtf? When did Kevin Ham get the .co registry??

 

[simon]

you mean .cm or .co
.cm and .et has been taken so far

It says in the original post ".co registry"

I read somewhere that Kevin Ham was negotiating with the .co registry.

Doesn't seem to have happened, not yet...

"And if he gets his way, Colombia (.co), Oman (.om), Niger (.ne), and Ethiopia (.et) will be his as well. "
