Please tell me I'm not the only one with a list of 300+ KW's that are soon to be inactive because I won't give in and bid 500% more for them. Keep in mind that the landing pages for these campaigns are completely relevant, high quality, and keyword dense.

Yahoos obviously trying to increase their revenue and influence Microsoft to reconsider the buy out. If Yahoo thinks that they're going to just follow in Google's footsteps they're gunna lose their asses -- if we're paying Google prices we're going to expect Google volume, right?

/rant -- It's Friday, I need a drink :drinkup:
 


Yahoo has done everything they conceivably could to sabotage their business.
The fact that I'm willing to deal with MSN and to this day have no active running campaigns with yahoo really says something. I hate MSN's interface, but I deal with it.
I hate Yahoo because I refuse to do business with a company that seems to want only to fuck me. That's something a fresh UI won't fix.
 
on the subject of msn. Are there any new coupons ? I missed the 75$ one by 1 fcking day.

I guess you could call it Partnered. The deal was non-exclusive though. The only thing that happened is Yahoo gaining the ability to run Googles ads alongside their own. Yahoo only did it because it was supposed to add approx 800 million per year in revenue -- that's all they're about. Obviously Google has more than enough ppc volume to warrant the deal.
 
Yahoo sucks as a search engine for ppc because of the inability to turn off the content network, but they have the greatest customer service ever. Quick story, I ran a campaign with them and got murdered by click fraud, which I told them was my reason for stopping advertising with them. A month later they email me advising me they refunding me over 2k and apologized as a I was a victim of click fraud. They could have took my money and ran, but actually contacted me for a nice refund -which is honorable. I still wont use them until they allow me to turn the content network off, that shit is scamola.
 
The Google slap is like your father spanking you for misbehaving to teach you a lesson. The Yahoo slap is like your retarded inbred cousin randomly thrashing about.

Example: Yahoo's content network, YPN has no geotargeting. At all. All they do is *ask* their publishers to only put YPN ads on sites with US traffic. This of course is barely enforced, and your ads are shown to everyone. At this rate, even MSN will soon overtake Yahoo.

Do you think they really care about you. They are just trying to protect their ass from this again:

yahoo click fraud lawsuit - Google Search
 
Yeah, Yahoo used to be worth it for the cheaper clicks than Google, but that's going down the drain fast. They're really only good for zip submits that end up with low QS now.

You do have the ability to turn off the content network in Yahoo. You can do it on an account, campaign or adgroup.

Allegedly. It's funny in I would say the last month my amount of traffic has skyrocketed - and for the worse. I had to stop running my ads on yahoo because my traffic went to shit, coincidence? I think not.
