Hi,
Just noticed that yahoo has reintroduced the cache feature after the switch in Beta. So far the ads are not PSAs.
Here is the point:
Would clicking on your ads in the cache violate the TOS?
I know it will violate the spirit of the TOS and I am never gonna do that. But thechnically speaking the cache is not part of your site.
Any thoghts?

Yes clicking on your own ads in the cache would violate TOS. Interesting what ads it serves up though, I would've thought it would be PSA ads but it's actually real ads, although miles off topic.

You're still giving yourself money which is the whole reason for the rule. It's still your IP making the click. If they bust people for clicking their own ads, they will still bust you (cache or no cache).

Its ads for webmasters, just like when I use the 'preview in browser' function on dwmx. Can we click those? They seem to be specifically targeted for us.
