Do not use parentheses and brackets for this match type. More information and overview on match types is located here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/ysm/sps/start/overview_matchtypes.html#tips Hope this helps! Roger Park Hi Melanie:

You, and Google, seemed to have effed up such a beautiful, beautiful concept. A year or so ago I'd just load up some keywords, enter my budget and click, click, click here come the customers. Now? Now, even after hiring a professional SEO firm to manage my account, all I get are modest clicks with no traffic. I do hope you remove your heads from your arse and listen to your customers.

I do try to get my keywords and ads to match, but I am confused. My ads don't show up as much as I would like. Does Yahoo have exact phrase match options like Google does? I am more familiar with Google Adwords. When adding keywords, do I use parenthesis and brackets if I want exact matches? Thanks for the tips.
