More information on this is really appreciated. Yahoo got really expensive for us also, we had to disable our ads due to an abundance of clicks that did not convert.

I agree with the other comments you need a Yahoo only option or an include these sites only list. This issue coupled with clicks on the delivery report not matching the page they've come from has mean't I've had to shutdown all my yahoo marketing. Pity Yahoo has contributed a lot to the open source community and I really want to support you.

You hit the maximum really fast and it seems to have different networks of fraudulent domains for all types of keyword niches. So it's far from being enough. The block domain feature is only available for YSM US/CAN/IT/ES/DE/FR. It should be possible to block bad domains in ALL YSM markets. YSM scandies market send 99.9% of fake clicks and there are no way to turn bad domains off. Not fair! Good effort but 500 is still too low.

Is Yahoo so technologically inferior to its competition that it cannot offer advertisers the ability to advertise on Yahoo search only? They would likely find a lot of advertisers who had walked away from them in disgust because of all of the fraud on Sponsored Search might actually return. Their new CEO seems to clueless though, just read some of her quotes from a recent NY Times piece.

I have experience with google search and google content network and I understand absolutely how differently campaigns need to be setup on search vs a content campaign. I made absolutely sure to turn off "content match" because I only wanted to run a search campaign on Yahoo. 100 clicks in I look at my referrers and discover 90% of the clicks are coming from horribly templated and irrelevant websites which are not yahoo.com. I was very confused why I was getting content traffic on a search campaign. Now finding this post I am in absolute disbelief. Yahoo apparently calls ad placements on other websites part of a "Sponsored Search" campaign and will only allow me to advertise with them if I allow ads to run on these domains. There is apparently no option to only advertise on searches done on yahoo.com . This is completely backwards, what are you guys thinking? I just started advertising on Yahoo today.

We ARE talking about search, not content advertising... Just like Google Adwords offers google only, or google search plus google search partners... When will yahoo do the same? Do not be confused…
