Google and Yahoo Ban Online Casino Ads

Looks like a lot of webmasters will be saving $$$ on purchasing ad space at Yahoo and Google.

I believe Overture is affected as well...

This could be good news (every cloud etc etc etc) for the top online gambling portals as the casinos and sportsbooks look elsewhere to deploy their marketing budgets - especially sites outside USA that are heavily used by US gamblers.

It's going to hit affiliate sites the hardest -- the ones which have a large budget to purchase pay-per-clicks at Overture and positioning at Yahoo/Google. I'm sure a number of these sites will say the hell with it, many more will direct their efforts to Europe and elsewhere.

Just goes to show how a bunch of dickheads in the US Department of Justice can make these big corps. cower.

But then I would snivel and cower too
