But my ranking in Google rose above my usurper's site in which he paid for hits. Google demonstrates 11.6 hits to only 1 from Yahoo.

Nightmare, the return is no longer there with this new system, sorry. I can explian more, check my Blog.

So far I like what I see and hear as Yahoo seems to pay specific attention to the local Advertiser or so called local Market. Will also compare it directly to MSN as I have used some of their beta and test solutions with good results. Valid Search Results on the local Business Market have to improve much more with all three Players. The Results just vary in many cases just too much or are irrelevant to the Search I just try to set up a Marketing Ad Strategy with Yahoo and gladly will report back how things are going.

Maybe my mind is just google-centric, but I understood what I was doing when advertising with Google and I often found myself lost and frustrated with Yahoo. My ads would get accepted one day....then certain key words would be removed 3 days later. Yes they have rules and everyone has rules, but I never really understood and consequently stuck with Google....so I hope that they change a few things within the Advertiser site itself as mentioned in the article.

Yahoo will be comparing your ad to the organic results for the same keyword. So if you're the number 1 organic result for 'widget' your ad for the keyword 'widget' will probably get a slightly higher quality score for that. (If this is true, then firms who provide both SEO and PPC services have cause to rejoice...) I am sure that Yahoo will look at your landing pages as well and, if they do it like Google, they'll use a separate spider that will simply follow the URLs you give them as your landing pages in the system.

When I setup my Yahoo Store, and the developers were testing my account, and posted about $50 worth of commissions, I had to pay. After speaking with Yahoo, they credited me back the charges, escalating my concerns from level 1 support to level 2 support. While Google just isn't as friendly from my experience. I have never heard of a story, where Google was willing to reimburse for a mistake. So, I'm glad Yahoo has a new search platform, which I hope will be successful.
