I just did a search in Yahoo for a few Overture phrases we monitor for a client. From what I can see, Yahoo isn't displaying Overture results. Does anyone know what the status of this relationship is?

Hello seokat, and welcome to WebmasterWorld. it must be just a glitch, because I can see the Overture results across a broad spectrum of KW's.

Welcome seokat

There are times when Overture results will not show on any number of SEs or portals. If Overture is having a SLOW server problem the SEs & portals will NOT WAIT and return a SERP without Overture results.

I saw a similar scenario yesterday. I searched for a phrase I know people are bidding on and none of them showed up in Yahoo. I just checked again and am seeing the same results. Other phrases showed the listings though. It could be a glitch or they might be doing some tests of some sort.

yes it is true..i see that too..but i think they are not displaying overture listings for some keywords..IMO it should be the competetive keywords.

Maybe there are no bids for that specific keyword that you are looking for?

Looks like it's one of 3 things:

1. What Mike said
2. There are no bids
3. Yahoo may not be choosing to display them...
