That's right, Nextag (shopping comparison engine) and WhenU. Nextag advertisers did you know about being distributed through WhenU's pops? Likely you did not. How about over your OWN Web site when users navigate directly to it?! The below entry resulted in calls from a few VP's (i.e. PriceGrabber wanted to be sure and distance themselves from the practice) and a very irritated WhenU marketing wonk. It relates directly to the transparency issue that is biting Yahoo in the bum. It's not limited to "traditional" search engines... it's widespread.
