AT&T / YellowPages.com screws up YP.com SEO

So I find out that YellowPages.com has purchased YP.com (formerly operated by LiveDeal).

But – what the hell are they doing with its SEO? They have essentially duplicated yellowpages.com on yp.com – creating a duplicate content nightmare. On top of it, all of their previous links are now dead and go straight back to YP.com – eg: http://www.yp.com/yellowpages/stamford-CT-06902/landscape-contractors/. Great job messing up a site that was suddenly going up and up in search engine traffic.

I guess I should also mention that LiveDeal was

up to some damn shady tactics. But never fear – it was only YP.com that was sold. http://yellowpages.livedeal.com/ is their new yellowpages URL.

Added: Sale also included the domains yellow-page.net, yp.net, yellowpage.net, yellow-page.com, the-yellow-page.com, worldyellowpage.net, and yellowpagesinfo.net

Was the sale of the domain itself done with shady tactics?

Any ideas on how the domain was sold in the first place? Price? Length of negotiations? Etc.

No I don’t see anthing shady about the sale itself. No details on the domain. More just that – it is a nice domain, and being utterly wasted in its current format.

YP.com was nothing more than a scam sight claiming to be the “yellow pages” The sale of this domain was from a court order that went on for several months.

The links all work fine, so it it my best guess that you have no idea what you are talking about.
