Just checked Yahoo for the same terms and they are showing duplicates of the ads to fill up the page. Most of mine are appearing twice. Also, as I live in South America, why are my US program ads being displayed here?
I've been seeing the same thing as far as geo-targeting is concerned. I've had clicks from Yahoo.com search with IPs from Italy.
Had a reply from Overture support recently as well to tell me a lot of their partners run US/Canada ads for International traffic i.e. no geo targeting. They also told me there's no way to stop this happening. So it's a case of like it or lump it.
Very disapointed to see no geo-targeting at Yahoo.com though. Something my support rep assured me is working fine. Which doesn't explain wny I'm getting visits from Italy and why you're seeing your ads in South America.
Is this the shape of Yahoo to come?
P.S. Something I did learn recently is that I'm a "Gold Advertiser" and have access to the "Gold Support Team". Anyone know what on earth that's all about? It's the first I've heard of it.
I went to an Overture seminar about 18 months ago and learned that as I was spending over $500 a month I was a "Gold Advertiser", which meant that I could use the bulk upload and would get better customer service. I don't know if the bulk upload is available to everyone now, but whenever I have a question I usually have someone back to me within a few hours.
The dip in total traffic from Overture shouldn't be that high, unless you're pure b2b and were already doing most of your impressions on MSN.
