Yahoo Makes Minor Updates to Sponsored Search

Posted by Admin on May 21st, 2008 at 03:46am

In the midst of a proxy board fight, new negotiations with Microsoft, and a possible deal with Google, Yahoo has made updates to its sponsored search listings. In an announcement on the Yahoo! Search Marketing blog, Jeff Hecox said the changes wouldn’t make “worldwide headlines” but they designed the changes to be more intuitive to users.

Here’s what to expect:

Names of objects (campaign, ad group, keyword, etc.) that are offline will be displayed with red text for easy recognition.
“Top Campaigns and Watched Campaigns tables on the Dashboard page now include a Status column to help you identify if and why any campaigns are offline.
On the Campaigns page, there’s a new Status column, the ability to filter by Status when using the Advanced Search function, and the Campaign On/Off button have been replaced with individual Pause and Unpause buttons.
On the Ads table On Ad Group pages, a Status column has been added and Pause and Unpause buttons have replaced Campaign On/Off button on the Ads table.
New status settings have been added on the Search page, under the Campaigns tab.
The ability to export (using the Download button) account information has been added to account-level Ad Group and Keyword pages, under the Campaigns tab.
