Yahoo will still be sending their usual 1pixel web bug(s).

Also, last time I looked - this may have changed - you were subject to
Yahoo's bandwidth policies. If your site were to get slashdotted, or if
the images were hot-linked from elsewhere, then the page served gets
very messy as it sprouts Yahoo's "Bandwidth exceeded" images. This was
my main complaint about their hosting last time I looked seriously at
it. Commercial hosting should have better policies for bursting
bandwidth - it does happen, and it might be the best sales lead you get
all year.
