Looks like KickApps want to see some return after they’ve been sold a pup.

The Yuku Support Forum [sic] is now displaying ads. like there’s no tomorrow. And they’re not just coming from one source either. Adding into the mix all the tracking services they’re using to Yuku code and the up-and-down-more-than-a-whore’s-drawers Yuku servers, is it any wonder their whole system is slow and timing out regularly?

Let’s have a look at a sample thread on their support forum [sic]. In addition to all the scripts necessary for the software to actually run, it loaded content/tracking from:

  • partner.googleadservices.com (x5)
  • pagead2.googlesyndication.com (x3)
  • optimizedby.rmxads.com
  • ad.yieldmanager.com
  • google-analytics.com
  • edge.quantserve.com

Wow!

I suppose that all those keyword-generated ads. are why they are running around hiding/closing/deleting threads that are in any way critical of the dog’s dinner that is Yuku: you wouldn’t want disaster recovery ads. or personal accident/negligence lawyer ads. turning up all over the place, now would you?
