Weird goings on

[flobaby]

I noticed in my logs that I occasionally get hits straight to my homepage, though all my ads go to internal pages. I followed one of the sources and I saw my yahoo ad, or actually, a combination of 2 of my yahoo ads!

While the title had the correct keyword for the visitors search, the description had the keyword from another of my campaigns completely.

Also, today I'm getting a strange pattern of clicks from searches at cbsnews.com and nbcnews.com. I'll get one cbs click and within minutes get an nbc click. They use the same keyword and all come from different IPs. Needless to say, they click to get in, but never after.

Anybody else get this?
(btw, everything is Standard, not Advanced, including at the account level)

I just realized that the ads with the mixed up descriptions were ads that their editorial staff messed with.

Their own staff placed many of my keywords in the form of a question at the top of my descriptions and at the same time put the wrong, unrelated keyword at the end. They even misspelled a few important keywords, yet again turning my ad into gibberish.

Can't wait to hear what support says.

I'm beginning to despise Yahoo/Overture.
