It's getting worse than that, lately I'm seeing in my reports that some domains (more and more), after being blocked as DOMAIN.com & www.DOMAIN.com start sending traffic from a different 3rd level domain. e.g. www2.DOMAIN.com.

Once you start receiving traffic from www2.DOMAIN.com, you cant block it unless you unblock www.Doman.com. This, most likely will bring back the flood of sewer traffic back from the unblocked domain.

Y's blocked domain section note:
--------------------
You can enter:
* A root domain (for example, example.com) to block your ads from an entire site
* Up to one sub-domain (for example, www.example.com or services.example.com) to block your ads from pages that are in that specific sub-domain
* Up to two directories (for example, www.example.com/news/money) to block your ads from pages that are in that directory structure
---------------------

Oh, and another thing:

That's what's written way down under in the administration section on Yahoo's UI:

"**Note: The accuracy of the blocked continents feature is not guaranteed and may vary depending on a number of factors."

Which is basically like saying "if you wish to block continents, YOU can TRY, but we guarantee nothing."

Cheers.

(Yahoo, get in an orderly line where it's easier to shoot you!)
