I hate "Ad-farm" results when I do a Yahoo search. What is Ad-farm, and who else hates it?
-
I really hate it when I do a search to get more information on something, and almost all of my results are links to Amazon, Ebay, or porn. BUT some of the results are ULTRA sneaky Ad-farm results. They look helpful, you click, and BOOM, you are re-directed to ebay/Amazon/Porn through someone's filter (possibly making them money). I noticed that the name of the page will change to "Ad-farm" a lot. What is Ad-Farm? Who else hates it when you don't get the results you want? Does Yahoo condone this? Thank you.

Answer:
Don't use Yahoo Search, use Google. You won't get that Ad Farm crap. Besides, Google's better anyway.
