Upgrade Resources

The Upgrade Center and New Quick Start Guide can help ease your upgrade

We know change can be hard. And while most of the response to the New Sponsored Search has been positive, there have also been, understandably, quite a few questions. To help answer these questions, we’ve put together a pretty comprehensive package of online resources.

The first of these is the Upgrade Center, permanently linked to from the right-hand margin of this page. 

On the right hand side of the Upgrade Center home page, you’ll find a yellow box containing links to the most basic information about your upgrade, including What’s New, info on how the upgrade may affect you, an Upgrade Checklist, plus notes on preparing for your upgrade.

In addition, there are two slick little flash presentations, the Account Upgrade Tutorial and the Navigating Your New Account Tutorial that you’ll want to view. For those of you who like to read the book before seeing the movie, you can also download these as PDFs and print them out.

Start Quickly
On the bottom half of the page you’ll find several more links, the newest of which is the Quick Start Guide. This comprehensive guide can help you whether you are planning to upgrade soon, have recently done so, or are completely new to Yahoo! Search Marketing. It provides instructions on everything from how to find your keywords to understanding how your budget was applied.

The Upgrade Center also links out to our FAQs which is a vast repository of information, resources and tools to help you optimize your campaigns and be a more effective advertiser. Did you know, for example, that Yahoo! Search Marketing offers monthly Training Seminars and Workshops in different locations throughout the country, or that we offer easy-use online ROI and CPM calculators? Start with the Quick Start Guide and explore all the resources at your disposal.
