Why are advertisements suddenly in Yahoo Mail, even for paying subscribers?
-
I am a customer for SBC Global DSL , and have used Yahoo Mail for years. Today I logged in and see advertisements inside of Yahoo Mail. These ads have never been there before. What's going on?

Answer:
Hello there. Yahoo! has been offering low priced DSL internet to the public for quite a while, while others like Comcast are still pretty expensive. In order to make more money, Yahoo posts ads. Another place to put ads would be in Yahoo Mail. Since those ads can be seen quite easily, they would more expensive, therefore, Yahoo can make even more money. But if you are bothered by that when you are writing/reading an email, there is a little botton with a triangle on it to the left of the ad. You can click that to hide the ad. But if you open a new email or just click something else in Yahoo Mail, the ad will reappear. Yahoo might take it away if they find problems with it though, or there's a lot of negativity toward it from the customers. Hope this helps.

Lily is correct about the ads. AT&T and Yahoo are more interested in making money than providing an expected customer experience. Adblockplus will block the annoying, headache creating ads, but you still lose the space on the screen. You can also switch to google mail. They have almost unnoticeable ads and will assist you with transitioning your folders and contacts. Or, you can pay $9.95 more per month and receive the same ad free service that you've had for several years. I have enjoyed SBC's DSL service for several years, but I have already scheduled a TW install. After AT&T said this change was made to provide world-class service, I decided I don't want to be part of their world. Just wait until AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular) puts ads in their ringtones...:) I hope you find a solution that works for you.
