		<description>I wish Yahoo would go back to the old way of bidding, it was very easy to understand, either you had the mney or you did not. I am sure Yahoo would make more money, and better for my stock. I seen people bid 15.00 for a keyword... just an idea!</description>

		<description>Yahoo has become a wild card. There seems to be no reason in ad placement vs quality vs bids.  Our overall ranking has dropped since Yahoo purchased Overture yet our spending has increased and our quality rankings are generally 3-5 on our important keywords. 
We had them "optimize" for us when they offered but the results we got back really did look like something done by monkeys on a keyboard. Totally random however our ranking did improve, just not for any valid reason.</description>

		<description>I did a campaign with them and most of my clicks went to bogus ads related search engines. Kind of those search engines which only display relative adds from yahoo. something like meanwhile.com. yahoo should block or ban this kind of websites.</description>

		<description>Sorry, but I must agree with the generally negative comments by Dave and Mel. Since Yahoo purchased Overture, paid search has gradually become worse. Mechanisms for trying to induce higher and higher bids has left me indifferent to Yahoo. Problems I've brought to Yahoo's attention bring promises of solution, then I hear nothing and see no improvements. It's sad since better competition with Google would help (almost) everyone.
