I Just made new campaign at Yahoo and I can't even use a question mark in my ads... How gay is that? So they won't let you do your job as a marketer? Instead they want boring and dry ads that have less CTR apparently...

Jeez... A question mark... That's really evil isn't it? I better think twice before I ask a question next time...
 


Maybe u can try contacting their phone support and they might be able to help you out, they've been pretty helpful over the phone anytime I've had issues, obviously urs is potentially one they just ruled against, but who knows. Removing the ? sounds odd.
 
looks like they have changed their approval algorythm

it takes now ages to get approved, my ads pending for 5 days already
 
Ah cool, thought its only me. But yeah, Yahoo is wondering why their ad revenue is so low, when their system is the most fucked up, even compared to adCenter.

I'd argue with that point... It's been much easier for me to get ads approved in Yahoo (in December at least) than in MSN. I've spent more time on the phone with MSN staff than I'd like for the last year.
 
I used to get about 80% of my new ads auto-approved instantly. Now none are getting through. And manual ad approval by an editor seems to take 2-3 days longer than before, obviously they're backed up. They need to sort it out.
 
I haven't had a problem. I put one up and check a couple hours late and it's live.
 
me too!! was wondering what's wrong with Yahoo and came to see this. Obviously they are screwing around with us. and my commissions are greatly affected!! They pause several of my ads and now refuse to approve it again! DAMN>>!!
 
i just submitted a new campaign...a bunch of ads are under review so hopefully they don't take too long...and ya I tried to use a ? in an ad and it wouldn't let me
 
My last few campaigns I started with Yahoo all got approve pretty quickly and I'm finding that the traffic for my campaigns are actually better on Yahoo than Google. But this last one I started this past Thursday with 160 adgroups are still fuckin pending...only today that I finally saw like 3 adgroups approved so far...what the flying fuck...
 
I just talked to them on the phone, something is broken, they are working on it. I would suggest you give them a call though to let them know your account is having an issue as I understand not everyone was affected by this.
 
Yahoo

Anyhow, I talked with support today and got the same story. Their system is "broken" and they have people working on it.

The only fix for the problem is to contact support and have them expedite your review.

But, for some reason ads that have been running for a while with no problems are being "removed."

Ive lost a little cash... If anyone hears anything, please let us know.
