If they dump an affiliate site of mine i would just place the same site at another location with a robots txt file for the other search engine robots.
There is no way human editors can keep up with automation... The $8 a domain costs is usually less than 1 affiliate conversion...this math just does not add up. Yahoo! is buying more editing than they probably think they are.
Of course they could keep a database of the content of the deleted sites too. It seems to me that would be the only way the could easily flag sites that would otherwise need to be reworked and reworked.

It's not the payment model (affiliate) that is the problem, it is the content duplication. Sites which share the same business area are pretty similar, affiliate or not.
As a searcher, I want variety in the serps. This is also what the search engine is aiming to provide.

I thought I was seths official minion here...
guess he sells so many books because there are a bunch of us.
he shaved his head and talked where ever he could off the start to look different.
he uses amazing packaging gimicks on his products.
even if you do not agree with what he says you could learn to do well by just viewing HOW he packages the information.
to put a face with a name, here is a picture I took with seth at his purple cow meeting
ps: moo

Yahoo doesn't like/value affiliate links?!?Yahoo/INK does not like affiliate links!
I think I mentioned this some time ago.
Remember that the people reviewing sites are Overture and Yahoo editors and tend to apply the same rules they are used to.

No PFI pages showing for that search!
As I said, don't PFI and you are most likely to get away with it

Whats PFI? I hope I'm not doing it!
And let me get this straight. There are people out there creating pages with the exact same content(words) as another site, but under a different domain. And the whole purpose is to do better in their rankings.
Are they changing the title tags to cover a more broad range of keywords? Or are they linking the duplicate sites together to increase PR?
I'm out of Vodka....What to do?
