FYI, Adwords campaign negative keywords generate an error when converting as well. Manually edit the exported csv file to remove the negative keywords, then convert

For all those getting the error: “The upload file you selected does not contain a valid header.”

From the adwords editor, don’t export your whole account, but rather export 1 campaign at a time into different files. Convert 1 at a time in Yahoo, then upload each one once converted. -I had the same errors until I tried it this way.

Good Luck

I have had about 10 of my accounts upgraded so far, this is nothing short of a disaster, the new system fails int he single most important aspect speed. Pages take between 20-40 seconds to download, Googles take as most 15 seconds, this means I spend up to 3/4 times as long on the Yahoo system for a faction of the return.

The new system really does work for Yahoo, but I am sorry, I am backing out of here.

Since the upgrade my max CPC has gone in order for my keywords/ads to be shown. 90% of my max CPC are above the bidding range and they still show “ad is showing but CPC is not high enough to be shown on first page”? If my max CPC is already higher than the highest bid showing how can this be? I have created new ad copy testing the “Quality Index”, how this is figured is way beyond me, and it still seems I can not get a priorty spot for my keywords. If anyone can explain to me how I can make sure I am within the quality index needed to get priority positioning I would surely appreciate it.

Dear Brandon,

First, you should check your account to make sure that the search terms you are using in your searches are associated with ads in your account that are set to “on.” Ads (or the ad groups in which they’re contained) that are set to “off” will not be displayed in search results.
Also, our budgeting feature is designed to adjust the display of your listings based on your approximate daily budget (called “daily spending limit” at the campaign/account levels in the new Sponsored Search), which can impact how often your ads may be displayed. If you set your approximate daily budget too low, the number of times your ads may be displayed will be limited to help prevent you from exceeding your target monthly budget, and therefore your listings may not be displayed for every relevant search query.

Does upgrading give you a competitive advantage? For example, if my competitor upgrades to Panama before I do, then are their ads more likely to appear above mine if our bids are the same?
