Did you get anywhere with Yahoo with the ideo.net traffic? I filed a case with them over the same site but am still waiting for a response. In the interim I have found there are domains appended at the end of the referrer url, and if you block the appended domain you stop the clicks... at least from _that_ domain. Of course ideo is back two days later with another domain, and the cycle continues.

I wasn't being entirely sarcastic in my earlier post when I used the term, "domain monetization industry." This is from the ideo.net home page, they actually refer to themselves as a leader in the domain monetization industry. This translates, to me anyway, as saying, "We're the tops when it comes to fraud!" I wasn't shocked to see this company is owned by a private equity firm. It only seems natural that private equity parasites are involved in this kind of business.
