WHOIS shows the technical contact as someone at Overture. I know Overture products are now Yahoo! Search Marketing products.

Has anyone else had a problem with this bot?

Thanks in advance.

This is believed to be the Yahoo advertising/search marketing contextual spider.

Thanks Brett. If I understand you correctly it's similar to Google's Mediapartners bot?

I got a visit from this bot as well, but I'm not running any Yahoo/Overture ads.
