Yahoo Minimum bid change, what were they thinking?

9 People Speaking Their Mind - Put In Your Two Cents!

Posted on April 20, 2008 in PPC, Yahoo Search Marketing  

So Yahoo has started rolling out there new minimum bid setup, which most people were hoping this would enable people to bid less than .10 on keywords… I have yet to see them, now i do have some keywords i bid .10 and pay less per click, but i have seen many keywords inflate to crazy amounts for a minimum bid. Expecting me to pay over .50 minimum bid on a term that is only worth .10 to me. While i understand its a new system and there will be things changing but I personnally only see one thing happening due to it, people advertising less thru YSM and people putting more money into MSN and Google. While Google’s quality score is annoying at times you aren’t going to be asked for a crazy amount if your site is an authority on a subject.  What is your take on the new YSM change?

Elite Retreat Here I Come Again!

I attended the original Elite Retreat back over a Year ago in San Antonio and had a blast. Gained a wealth of knowledge and contacts. I decided to attend again this year. I know many say oh the price is so high… but honestly they could charge much more and it still be worth it due to the contacts and information shared. As a business if you haven’t learned yet it’s not always about what you know but sometimes it is who you know. With that said I can’t wait to get there and start talking with speakers and attendees (some are good friends i talk with weekly). If any of my readers are attending I will see you there, if not you should consider going to the next one it is well worth it!
