I had a dilemma deciding if this was the right forum to address this.
I was searching for my site today on Yahoo! using some very specific keywords and came across a link that had our title, and is cached as looking identical to our page but linked through a very long link via click.r------p----.com/servlet/link?
Judging from the link I'm assuming this is a counted redirect, but for what reason, other than PPC? We have never done business with RP. We DO buy click-thrus from a number of the larger PPC businesses. Anyone know if RP works with one of the PPCs which we pay? It's not listed on anyones website. I tried contacting RP and each of the PPCs we do business with and the ones which answered (RP was not one of them) denied working with RP.
I wouldn't be so concerned, even if we are paying for them somewhere, except that I AM concerned about duplication penalties on the SEs and getting banned from Y! again for something we didn't even do.
