Content match is off - why am I getting traffic from all these bogus sites?

    So I am just starting to use YSM after focusing on AdWords for awhile.

    I setup a new campaign in YSM with sponsored search on, and contact match off. Out of my first 30 clicks, 6 are from yahoo.com and the other 24 are from bogus MFA and domain parking type sites.

    Is this how sponsored search is supposed to work?? What can I do to have my ads displayed ONLY on yahoo.com? I can't imagine anyone making money with YSM when 75% of the traffic from sponsored search is coming from these junk sites.

    What am I missing here?

    Is content match turned off for your ad group(s) as well?

    Even if that were the case, I still don't think you should be receiving clicks from the content network, but it's worth a shot
