Six months ago I tried using Yahoo search marketing for over 3 full months but the results were…
Now I’m curious,i ‘ll try it, but I believe Adwords is more competittive.

This sounds like great news for the people who promote questionable offers with extreme long-tail keywords. Before, they had to pay at least .10 to send someone off to their ringtone/zip code submit/win a free gift card offer, which meant they had to convert at a pretty high rate to make money. If the bids come down to .05 or less for some of those keywords, a lot of campaigns that might not have worked before will be feasible. I’m not crazy about that part, but I’ll definitely enjoy my cheap clicks wherever I can get them.

They might as well monetize not so popular categories. I guess more competitive keywords will not be effected.

Looks like a marketing avenue just became cheaper. Hopefully someone can provide feedback as to the savings between similar words, and if their traffic increased or decreased.

I’m now curious to know on a relative basis for a given keyword how much cheaper Yahoo will be than Google.

It will be interesting to see how high the bids go for the most demanded words in a relative mrkt.

Words that check in below 10 cents on Yahoo search marketing will probably be very obscure.

I tried using Yahoo search marketing for over 2 months with less than expected results. All I got was 2 clicks despite raising my cost per click. It was so disappointing, have stuck to Adwords since.

I will try Yahoo in action. I used only Google before.

That is great news but what I would prefer to see is the removal of the way them make you top up with a credit card even before your monthly funds are spent.

I used a free £75 voucher and put in £75 of my own money. When the voucher was down to about £15 left, I was asked to deposit the same sum again.

May be this is because of recent changes in stuff.

I am very intrigued now that the service is cheaper. Craig, you are right…Google raised prices.

This is amazing news. I know they did this because Google has been criticized for raising their rates recently.
