I don't have any hard data to back this up, but over the years I've seen some specific types of campaigns spend much more on Yahoo (as a proportion of overall search spend) than is the case for 95% of regular PPC advertisers. For example, franchise lead gen comes to mind, as do miraculous-claim beauty products (for lack of a better word).

I'm sorry i'm not sure if i fully understand. You mean some campaigns invest most of the advertising PPC budget in Yahoo then Google? | than is the case for 95% of regular PPC advertisers. |
| What do you mean? Thank you

No, I just mean that for those categories I listed, the % of overall search ad spend that goes to Yahoo is significantly higher than the % of ad spend that most advertisers devote to Yahoo. -Shorebreak

Yahoo's audience does seem to be quite a bit less technical. While Yahoo might have around 20% of a normal campaign's ad spend, if you run a campaign for something like usenet, or enterpise software you are going to see it taking up a much smaller percentage of the spend. And as shorebreak has pointed out, in other areas Yahoo is going to make a larger than average percentage of overall spend (but still smaller than google).

Let's say you spent $100 total on Paid Search $70 went to Google $20 went to Yahoo $8 went to Microsoft $2 went to Ask then Google would be 70% of your ad spend Yahoo would be 20% of your ad spend etc...
