Yahoo (yhoo) & Microsoft (msft) Breaking Up PPC Deal

So I guess the email Yahoo Search Marketing sent out to all of their Commission Junction account holders is a sign of the times, Microsoft is coming of age in the paid search arena.

Dear Jason Dowdell,

Yahoo! Search Marketing’s partnership with MSN is expiring. As such, we will be removing banners containing MSN’s logo from the Yahoo! Search Marketing affiliate program immediately. You should remove the following links from your site prior to April 21, 2006.

Don't worry Yahoo, I removed your non-performing banners a long time ago and you know what that got me? A killer cell phone from Sprint! Who wants to use my cellphone? I'm going to start shipping it around the country tomorrow cause I don't have the time to put it through it's paces. I'm not kidding. Holler if you're interested in using it and are near a big city.
