I've noticed Yahoo! deep linking to a lot of my videos. But unlike Google or other search engines, they just link to the video, so the user is never taken to the original page, none of my ads are displayed, etc.
I have physically blocked this from occurring (with referrer checking), but wow - is this a common Yahoo practice? I woke up one day and my bandwidth usage had shot up - with no increase in revenue. Totally unbelievable. When Google links to video/animation, my pages and ads are displayed - there is no downside. But when Yahoo! deep links, why on earth would I let them?
Any thoughts?
