They took out sites using high amounts of seemingly-normal traffic - indistinguishable, perhaps.
Too bad they didn't think to direct 5% of their total traffic to the cause of seemingly-normal advertising banner traffic.
That would be so cool. And if the total traffic for advertising banners went up somehow, we might see all the major ad banner companies crashing (or profiting, depending on who they are). No more banners on Yahoo? I'd love it!
