Yahoo Search Marketing and Easy Keyword Targeting

Wouldn’t it be great if you could pay for advertising based only on your results, choose the people you advertise to, and customize your ads for each group of people who might see them? If you’re using newspaper, radio or other traditional media, you just can’t do this kind of targeting and customizing. But with Yahoo Search Marketing, targeting the people you want with the ads they want is built right in.

How to Use Yahoo! Search Marketing Analytics to Improve Your Campaign Performance

If you are going to be successful running Yahoo! Search Marketing campaigns for your business, then you must use analytics to measure the performance of various elements of your campaigns. For instance, you need to know which keywords generate the most conversions. This will allow you to allocate your budget to those keywords that generate the highest return on investment.

To turn analytics on:


1. Log into your Yahoo! Search Marketing account.

2. Click the Administration tab.

3. Click the “Analytics” link on the sub-menu.

4. Click the blue “Enable Analytics” button.

Yahoo Search Marketing and Local Targeted Marketing

When you think of local advertising, the obvious choices are traditional media-newspapers, radio, yellow pages, possibly some local television spots. Targeted online advertising, like that offered by Yahoo Search Marketing, is a better choice, because you reach people while they’re looking for your products or services, and you pay only for results.
