		<description>Both Google and Yahoo have &quot;experts&quot; who think they must &quot;complicate&quot; thing to show us how &quot;Clever&quot; they are.
Soon I think a few MIT guys will &quot;hurt&quot; them both with something so SIMPLE it will take the net by storm.
If these guys need some backing I will put up the cash.

		<description>The new system is a big improvement because it is more similar to Google than the old one - this means that we can now &quot;pour&quot; all the Google ads into the Yahoo ads. We can use Google ads as a kind of a &quot;master&quot; system and simply keep Yahoo ads &quot;in sync&quot; unlike before where we had to actively manage the Yahoo account because it was so different from Google.            

One thing though is still FAR SUPERIOR in Google - there is virtually no limit in the keywords that you can use and nobody steps in to decline them or remove them unless you use some really weird ones. Google lets the market decide what users click on and what they do not. With Yahoo some human editors decide what works and what does not and they get it VERY WRONG VERY OFTEN and to have those keywords reinstated is way too much work (on the phone) for something that is so simple with Google.

Why don&#039;t you implement the same system that Google has and fire all the editors? You will make more money and make your customers happier at the same time!</description>

		<description>The new format is confusing, not at all intuitive, and requires much greater manipulation than the former. This product has gone consistently down-hill since Yahoo took control. Google ad-words is simple, allows instant editing, and most importantly, delivers conversions at a rate of about 10:1 compared to this program. After converting to the new format, during which most of my key words were deleted and my multiple campaigns merged into one meaningless one, I canceled all my ads and pulled the plug.</description>

		<description>I noticed that no one commented on the API and the reports.  Why is that?  Were there no comments or just none that were deemed fit for publishing?  The API seems comparable to others (Adcenter/adwords) though the reporting still seems somewhat short.  I&#039;d be interested in hearing what the experts had to say on those topics.</description>

		<description>The FAQ says: &quot;Your account will still
apply to one market only&quot;. The hassle of setting up multiple accounts means that Google Adwords is a much better solution for multiple international markets. Dissappointed that the new Yahoo Search has not included this functionality</description>

		<description>Good eye, Vural! Sometimes WP inserts our own URL into the URL&#039;s we&#039;re trying to link to. Thanks for the head&#039;s up!
