[Air-l] Using Online Citations to Defunct Web Sites

[Amanda Lenhart]

Actually, it was a case involving TicketMaster, I believe. Someone was 
linking to internal pages for tickets and TicketMaster was annoyed because 
users were then bypassing ads on the front page, and those ads weren't 
getting the eyeballs that TicketMaster had suggested to the advertisers 
that they would get.
