If Yahoo can’t beat them, can they buy them?

Has Yahoo given up trying to build a legit competitor to Google Adsense? After years of trouble, it seems Yahoo is back on the acquisition path since failing to properly integrate Overture into their ad system.

Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO – News), a leading global Internet company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Right Media Inc., creator of the Right Media Exchange.
