Adwords Editor blows this browser-control out of the water. Next and Previous help with small campaigns, but what about when you have thousands to look up? If you don't want to create a program that we can download and use, why not put a Windows-Explorer-type list of Ad Groups and Keywords down the side of the page so we can click through our keywords quickly. Anything that helps speed up the process of sorting through thousands of keywords would help. The “Next” and “Previous” buttons are a big improvement, but Jeff has it right.

After all this should have always been allowed. It seems as if Yahoo! is always purporting a we don't care if you use us or don't philosophy. It just seems rather audacious to state that you are fixing something that never should have been broken in the first place. And I agree, why should we as advertisers have to prove click fraud through our weblogs when your information substantiates all claims? How many times has someone 'looked the other way' when noticing fraudulent traffic? It's great your fixing it, but please lose some of the arrogance that comes along with your announcement. Many marketers share the same opinion. You have a valuable product, but the way the company has sluffed off on the responsibilites it owes its advertisers has been disgraceful at best.

The keywords that receive clicks from Yahoo show the link that I set up with a YH code, the clicks I receive from partner sites come with a OV code that I never set up. I hope it helps you spot sites that send you unwanted traffic.

Not providing a block list or limitation on advertising only on Yahoo search engine gives me an impression that majority of clicks come from "questionable" ad partners and by providing these "conveniences" to its own customers will result in a huge plunge in advertising revenue for Yahoo. Lets face it, all this time, it is like pulling teeth with Yahoo. You guys have dragged your feet but don't you realize customers have other options. A far better option in Google. Please get your act together before its too late!
