Your ads will be running on their partner sites which are the parasite sites on the net.

A PR0 site with alexa 1 millions can generate 100 over clicks in a day while yahoo search only generates 1 click.

When I complain to yahoo with all statistics to prove for invalid clicks and frauds, yahoo said they are their preferred partners.

I find this hard to believe. I've never advertised on yahoo, but I would assume that they provide a way to cap your spending.

There may be a method to cap your spending but i've seen the same thing with adbrite. You go through a list of questions asking you what types of sites your audience would be and when you finally let your credit card open to them you find out that your ads ran on torrent and porn sites.

Advertise on google, it might cost more but you'll get better results. Yahoo is a failed company, what more do you expect?

Then, you may want to try it out to confirm my posting.

I agree... although we specified in our Yahoo campaign that our ad only runs in the US, we saw all our clicks vanishing to India - as reported by Google analytics... when we complained to Yahoo, we only got a fraction (almost nothing) as a refund!

Hi, fancypocket

Thanks for your information and I think Google Adwords is always my only choice for PPC campaigns. :)

We had exactly SAME problems with Yahoo Marketing Solutions.

Here is the facts:

1) Huge jump in clicks for very niche targeted keywords -> from $5/day (usual delivery by Yahoo.com) to $600+/day (from traffic delivered by their "partners")

2) Traffic filter was set to USA-only -> I see tons of IP's from China, India and so on (NON-USA)

3) Traffic ("Yahoo Partners") coming from parked domains (PR0, Alexa is super low) - not even live / operational sites, just bunch (like 20-30) parked domains with default template and YPN code.

Did reported that to Yahoo Customer Services, but after talking to them for over 2 months - I cannot get resolution or full money back (generic responses like "This is good traffic"), so have to cancel Yahoo account and no longer using them.

Why don't you just do a CB on your credit card, for goods not as described or services not provided.

Come on people, you're in an e-commerce forum, at least know your options before complaining about something useless.
