Flickr is making money off Google AdSense even though it is a Yahoo company. There are Adsense text ads appearing on your photo albums etc. Is this coopetition they always talk about? Making your enemy pay your bills – priceless!

Nuovo scoop: Flickr passa agli annunci di Yahoo!
English version follows. Probabilmente non frega niente a nessuno. Ad ogni modo sembra che da oggi Flickr supporti gli annunci di Yahoo! e non più quelli di Google (come da foto). Om Malik ironizzava proprio su questo giusto il 19…
Excuse me? They are giving market share for Google with that. How can you flip this and say that Flickr/Yahoo are the ones somehow making a profit on top of Google?
Google takes a good share of that ad revenue…
I second that. Google possibly make a larger profit than that of Flickr (Yahoo). Yahoo supports Google financially. Now isn’t that adorable?
Actually, I think the Google ads only show up on non-pro accounts.
I don’t see any on my photo pages.
No google adsense ads on pro accounts that I can see. I’ve got none on mine.
And, given the amount of traffic flickr has and how generous they are with free accounts, I don’t have a problem with them putting text ads on free accounts. If they put them on my pro account that I paid for, then we’ll have a problem.
well, i don’t have a pro account, so perhaps that is why. i think it is still ironic that is the case, even though Yahoo has its own overture service which does precisely that.
Now I see Ads from Yahoo! on Flickr:
