Left Hand, Meet Right Hand

June 24th, 2006 by Chris

So I got this email from Yahoo yesterday:

June 23, 2006

To gauge our performance and optimize our services to better meet your needs, we are asking our publishers to participate in an important survey.

We think you may find this survey interesting, and your input will be considered carefully by Yahoo! senior management. Please note that the only goal of this survey is to collect your opinions. You can be assured that your responses will remain confidential and only analyzed in the aggregate. Upon completion of the survey, you will receive a small gift in appreciation for your time.

The survey should take about 30 minutes to complete. Please click on the link below to be automatically directed to the survey.

If you have any questions regarding the legitimacy of this survey, feel free to contact mtricia@yahoo-inc.com.

Thank you for your participation!

The Yahoo! Publisher Network

Apparently they didn’t get the memo that I was kicked out of their network.

Still, I took the survey, and apparently by doing so they’ll send me a check for $45, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. I also of course got to leave comments about how stupid their geotargetting rules are.

I’m not sure if the link I got is unique, or if anyone can use it to access the survey, but if you can access it try taking it.

    Good god, that’s hilarious. I have a lot of time for Yahoo as a site and service, but they need to reel this kind of stuff in if they don’t want to become a laughing stock in the web publishing space.

    I followed the link and answered a few questions than I got this page:

    “We appreciate your efforts, but unfortunately you do not fit with the specific criteria we are pursuing for this project. Thank you for your time.”
