Yahoo has promoted one of its staff attorneys to an executive-level position that is akin to being click fraud tsar at the second largest web search provider.
For seven years, Reggie Davis helped the web search company defend itself against lawsuits by advertisers who claimed they were overcharged for pay-per-click ads that resulted from click fraud. Click fraud occurs when clicks are generated by people paid to click ads over and over or by automated software programs, usually for the purpose of boosting revenue for the website the ads appear on.
Now, Davis is the company's first vice president of marketplace quality, responsible for reducing the amount of click fraud and making sure advertisers and publishers are happy with the company's display and search listings.

I also don't care for the growing trend of using this word.
BTW the word czar was not used by yahoo to describe this position it was from ZDNet in the UK not America.
