We have a a YSM feed (not YPN) and run a variety of sites with it. Some traffic we buy, I guess that is arbitrage but really any form of media buy could be arbitrage depending on the view you take.
I haven't heard anything from Yahoo direct about this, last time I spoke to Yahoo I asked for their stance on arbitrage, they said while they are not taking on any more arbitrage partners they do support the ones they have who provide decent traffic, they seemed to think that some arbitrage partners provide very good traffic which is obviously the case despite some of the negativity out there. This came out at a recent meeting.
I however do not participate in domaining, so to break this down maybe it is more aimed at 'domain match' partners of which the parking companies make up the bulk.
That said to blanket ban arbitrage is kind of like saying don't do any advertising, I think you have to define it beyond disallowing paying for traffic, show me a YSM partner who doesn't advertise somehow.
So no email or phone call here, it seems to be a few domain parkers so far that are getting this.
