If you go to Yahoo.com today, you will find that they have “improved” their site: now they have somehow managed to splash their ads across the entire screen instead of just staying in that little box. I assume they think that it will grab the attention of the visitors and thus improve the click through rate of their ads.
Somewhere along the line, during a meeting, the executives at Yahoo decided that rather than trying to improve the quality of the ads, they should start finding new ways to annoy their visitors.
Way to go, Yahoo! This is exactly what we want.
[Update: Seems like the ads are gone for now, we could only hope that it won't come back again.]
