Well, the Yahoo Search Marketing Ambassador program is ending.
Yahoo explicitly states that, other than limited use of the Ambassador logo, the “Ambassador commissions will no longer be earned or paid for any Managed Advertiser Account created on or after July 31, 2008. All Ambassadors that are due payment of an Ambassador commission will be forwarded such payment no later than September 30, 2008.”
As I am a big Yahoo fan, this is very sad for me. It’s very stereotypical of a big corporation; yet at the same time it’s very odd for something like this to be happening to a web-based business. Unlike AltaVista and Excite, which quietly moved down to the basement, Yahoo is publicly disassembling the company. Not something we are used to seeing for web-based businesses.
That’s terrible! (the grim reaper says it all)

Yahoo Search Marketing seems to be crashing like Windows 95! I don’t think anyone can save them now that the reaper has arrived…RIP YSM.
