I advertise with both Yahoo and Google, and the latter is by far the most user-friendly. Not only does Google pull many more leads, but it costs me a lot less to do so. The only advantage I see with Yahoo over Google is that owing to G's strict advertising policy, there are quite a few products that can't be advertised on their Adwords campaign - thankfully, Yahoo is not so picky. <a href="http://www.winlottofrequently.com" rel="nofollow">how to win lotto frequently</a> I agree.

Amd hoping someone with authority on decision making at Yahoo will read them and take in the considerations of everyones thoughts and opinions. It was a little comforting to me, that I now realize I am not the only person who dislikes teh "NEW" YAHOO Search Marketing program. I started about 2 months before the "BIG" change at teh beginning of the year. At the very beginning I learned it, understood it and was feeling pretty confident about using it. T H E N...... came the NEW SEARCH MARKETING, I have spent twice as much money to get half as many qualified customers. SOmething is not right! ANd as far as your NEW TUNE UP program you have emplemented, I don't see the benefit as being what you said it would be. SOme people have a more diverse or complex web-site that cannot be generalized the way Yahoo is trying to do it. Seriously!!! If you want to beat Google, you are going to have to find a way to offer more clicks at a better price. People will spenf teh money when they see results. Google has incorporated so many other ways for a persone to advertise, such as with Bidz.com and Shopzilla, I am not seeing Yahoo busting behind to get their advertisers the most exposure. That is what we need. ~F I just read EVERYONES comments.

I started advertising on the internet with Yahoo about two years ago and it took hardly any time too get your adds edited and up and running. Now with the new Yahoo it takes me around three hours to edit all of my adds, by the time that I finish my eyes and head are killing me. Also back when I started with the old Yahoo. I would get a great return on my adds, now I fell like I am just putting money into an account so that the people that do visit Yahoo have something too click on at my expense. Everybody who advertizes online knows that Google is great and very easy to use, BUT if Yahoo would help us save on click charges they would be THE GREATEST. What do I mean? Well search engines, web sites, Microsoft any place you visit online places a cookie on your computer right. Well why cant Yahoo do that for all of it's advertisers? Yahoo could place a cookie that would last for one day on everyone who visits their search engine so as the customers are shopping around for what ever we are trying to sell and they are searching and clicking between our adds and our competitors adds for the best deal, we would only get charged one time per visitor. Not one visiter giving us 2, 3, 5, 10 click charges. I agree with most of you.

I joined your service years ago and liked it very much. Since you changed the service last year it has been nothing but confusing and hard to learn. And I am a computer person! This has cost my business LOTS of money. Like others on this site, I agree that you can never get a straight answer from a human. There are TOO many technicalities - do this and edit this, campaigns for this - analytics for that. THis is NOTHING but confusing. Let us pick our top keywords, bid on them and so be it - the way it was in the beginning - easier. And how GOOGLE has made it easy. This system SERIOUSLY needs to be reevaluated!

I can't stand trying to use your service now! I spent hours trying to simple edit my search terms, and in one place found 11 and in another place found 4 and never could simple see them all and delete a few I didn;t want any more. This was a snap on google. why have you made this thing so darn hard? Even at the beginning of the year you wanted us all to re-write all the description?
