It's more diffcult to generate traffic from YSM than last year...

The cost per click went up. And you have to raise bid...

Anybody agree with it?

[galench]

NO!
Yahoo does not put the minimum rates unlike google! Therefore, in my opinion, now it is easier to advertise on yahoo!

[jimmychuang]

I know. Adwords is more competitive.

I've tried 2 tier PPC Advertising, .

They are cheap, but seems like their traffic resources are changeable

[nvision]

Maybe you mean converting is harder?

[jimmychuang]

Actually, I use YSM to advertising my adsense websites. The traffic I received from YSM became less and less. But the CTR of my ads are remain the same.

The problem is the number of impressions getting lower.

[galench]

Yes! Good idea to convert YSM to Adsense!
I think about it many times...
Is you have some good ROI?

[galench]

Also, is it easy to make YSM AD with adsense ad pages!? I mean it pss editoral review good?

I opened a new account in YSM. Everything seems to be correct. There is enough funds in my account. My Daily spending limit is not 3 times bigger than my funds in account. My bid is neither very high neither very low. Ads and keywords are approved. There is no notifications on dashboard and there is no alert on top of screen. But my ads are not displayed.
Is this problem occours beacuse you have some capacity issues with content match server?
How long they service is not be available?

[jimmychuang]

CM is the problem. During recent few months, the impressions of SS were more than CM. Some adgroups can not show ads in content match.

ROI was nice, but became worst this month.

First, YSM's traffic went down.

Second, Adsense's ecpm went down, and pay per click went down, I don't know the reason.

Anyway, I haven't create any profit this month.

Because of YSM's traffic down, I went to bid some 2 tier PPC programs. I tested four, three of them can't make any money. One of them remained good last month, but this month I lost money from it.
Because of the traffic sources changed, the quality and ammount of the traffic dropped down very very fast.......It just suddenly dropped down.

The PPC advertisement change very fast, just like any other traffic methods.

It's so sad.

[Dragoshani]

But say to me , why i don't have a showing up on any keywords on YSM?
They closed any accounts created. Ads is not showing never . Not SS , not CM

[galench]

First check - is all keywords approved!
Second check - is Ads approved!
Last check - is anybody else use same display url! If yes probably his bid higher than your!

[Dragoshani]

keywords approved, ads approved , i'm owner of domain

[galench]

submit a ticket support! I think you have some account problems! Maybe not!

[Dragoshani]

Submit , but don't any answer . Account now is off . I don't know :(
All in ad writed correct

[galench]

How long it is?
Also, is you have balance? Is you have daily account or some campaigns limit?
Is you check, maybe you turn off SS or CM options in campaign or account settings?!

[Dragoshani]

[Insomniak]

[Dragoshani]

[galench]
