Alright, YSM's converting tool is pretty sweet, and works flawlessly, I can just take my Google campaigns and have them running on YSM in minutes. However, I've been adding a load of new adgroups on Google, and I would like to add those to the YSM campaign as well. However, using the same Name, and even adding the campaign ID manually (once it has been converted) doesn't work, I always just get errors telling me that campaign and ad group already exist. Is there a good/quick way of adding adgroups/keyword onto an existing YSM campaign from Google (I could obviously just add the keywords using the import spreadsheet myself, but that takes a while ..)?

Call Yahoo and ask them to look at the import file, they should be able to do it for you.
 
I've found that recreating my Yahoo campaigns from scratch worked much better than the import. I felt I had a much better understand of how each campaign was set up.

Also Yahoo's userbase I find respond differently to Google's so the campaigns usually need to be different.

How's your results?
 
Sup3rnova: Guess I'll have to do that, though I hate waiting ..

Gyppo: I'm actually just using the AdWords Editor to manage the campaign, at the moment I'm only running that particular campaign on YSM. Though you are right, what keywords work really differs from engine to engine, ad copy not so much.
