Yahoo Search Marketing Pay Per Click Advertising Forum

We have many pending keywords that were simply ignored, it is as if they do not want our money.

Google Adwords is a much better system - most of our money has now been transfered into it.

Emailed them... they just pass the emails around, you have to repeat the same question over and over... knowone seems to know the answer - they will give reasons that when checked are simply not true.

They gave me a 50 Euro credit so I thought I would take advantage of it. I already have accounts for DE & UK.

I went through the set-up procedure, chose my keywords, selected my title, copy and URL and then tried to edit the keywords a bit.

That was a big mistake.

I got caught in a circle of errors that wouldn't let me continue. Fortunately I got back to a page with all my keywords on it so I could copy and paste them into Word.

I then had to log out, clear my cache and delete all Over cookies.

After logging back in I went through the whole process over again except now I had my list of keywords otherwise I would have lost a lot of time.

There are other problems with the system involving using the same title and copy for each ad but it's too frustrating to go through again here.

Now they are submitted - I would assume they will get priority treatment as it's a new account. We shall see.

Out of 23 search term submissions made on July 7 to Over NL they approved 5, denied 2 and 16 are still pending.

What really bugs me is that the two that they denied are our two best terms.

One is the area name for where we are located. The other is the country name. As we are a tourist location both of these terms are relevant and there are very few people advertising under them.

We also have these terms approved for years in the US, UK & DE. To deny them shows total lack of understanding. We have written support asking for a reason as none was given on the page.

Now I remember why I didn't take the time to do this before. I got sucked in by the Euro 50 gift. They also charged my account with Euros 50 so now my balance is Euros 100. If they don't approve the two denied listings this 100 Euro balance will get eaten by the minimum monthly charge as the other terms won't get me there.
