Why does yahoo search redirects me to commercial sites, how do i get rid of that feature?

Answer 1

Well, you are free to do and use whatever you wish, but it's more than likely that you clicked on an advertiser's page, rather than a "real" page. Advertiser's either pay for the privilege of being listed first, based on your search request, or they "trick" search engines into appearing as if they have the best result. You simply need to be more judicious in what you select. Depending on your browser, put your mouse cursor over the intended link, but don't click on it. Look at the bottom of the browser window. If the link appears to be different than the one that's displayed in the search (it might have a longer link title (URL), but that's okay), then don't click on it. If you keep going to the same website each time, regardless of what you click on, you might have spyware that needs to be removed, but it's highly unlikely. Again, you simply have to watch what you're doing. Of course, it depends on your search request: if you asked for something that would naturally bring up lots of advertisements, then there's nothing you can do about it!

Please write in "Search for questions":

,,,"Yahoo search redirects" and klick "Search"

If "Yahoo..........x......x" has no answers, than you have  lots of advertisements.
