For me, In Yahoo Search Marketing most of the traffic comes from some bullshit sites like this Berry Informative.
Is there a way to targed only yahoo.com?

I have tried blocking domains, but there are more than 500, they seem to be sending fraudulent traffic.
 


You have the content network on. Turn it off completely by going into the campaign and clicking "Campaign Settings". You'll see there that Content Match Status is ON. Click Edit and turn that shit off.

Google Content Networks owns. Yahoos blows.
 
Yahoo's network consists of all low-quality websites. You will get click fraud like crazy. Their search converts bad enough for me to begin with and the content network is basically a good way to throw away money.
 
Guys, that has nothing to do with the content network, those are shit yahoo search partners. If you're running in the biz op niche, there's more that 500 of those fucking sites, you can't block them all and there's no way to turn them off.

Click to expand...

There is no way to target only yahoo.

But go to Reports, then click on "Ad Delivery Report"

You can see the top domains that send you traffic. If you have the yahoo pixel in place you can see which domains are sending shitty traffic.

Then blacklist those domains.

Obviously there will be more than 500 domains, but if you blacklist the top 50 that will be better than nothing.
 
I wish I could get more parking page traffic... I get tons of high quality parking page traffic on Google that I can't seem to replicate with Yahoo (just can't get impressions on the relevant sites).

It all depends on what you're advertising, though. Blacklist the highest spending non-converting domains, and that's about all you can do.
 
Well, for now there for sure is no way to display on Yahoo exclusively. Biz opps, acai and resv have this problem. From about 1k spent on these sites, I got 0 conversions, all conversions came from yahoo.com, so definitely things are going to get better with YSM on Jan, if that`s true.
Some guys must be banking with these crap sites, purchasing some cheap ass traffic to it, it`s just weird how Yahoo tolerates it.
 
That class action lawsuit that is being settled will allow you to only get traffic from yahoo, but shopping.yahoo.com is just as bad as their crap partner sites. Funny in that they use shopping.yahoo in ysm for arbitrage.
 
it doesn't help the fact that at one point yahoo feeds were used for domain parking arbi, some even as recent as roughly a year ago... so i'm sure changing up their partner network model would be challenging given they'd have to take an initial hit in revenue
