Yahoo! Search Marketing Problems

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Over at Search Engine Roundtable is a post regarding all of the problems that YSM is having with its account management interface. We’ve been experiencing the same problems and frustrations on our end since Monday (Oct. 9). As of this morning we’re finally able to login and manage our accounts with no problems.

It’s issues like this one that make us question who our primary ad portal should be moving forward. Yahoo! Search Marketing has always had the most problems between all the different ad portals we use for our clients. Hopefully, with the release of its new CPC model, YSM’s problems will become a thing of the past.
