Yahoo Structure Updates Coming Soon 
By: Scott Van Achte 2006-10-05 Yahoo will be introducing the new sponsored search soon and with it...
...Yahoo wants their advertisers to know about a few structural changes about to take place. In their latest monthly edition of "On Target", Yahoo noted a few key points advertisers should know about. 1. Account upgrades are expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2006. At this time some of the account terminology will be changed. 2. Listings will now be known as 'Ads' and will be joined into Ad Groups (not to be confused with Google AdGroups). This will allow for bidding based on the entire group, or by individual keyword. 3. Categories will now be known as 'Campaigns' which will consist of one or more 'Ad Groups'. (This is starting to sound a lot like the AdWords setup.) Once Yahoo has implemented the new structure all current categories will be moved into campaigns automatically. However it is advised that if you have not already done so ensure your current listings are added into appropriate categories. This is not required, but this extra step may help you with organizing your account after the switch over. All in all the account upgrades are likely to make life easier and more structured. The one thing I wonder about is why it has taken so long to have them implemented. The changes have been in the works for a while now and it will be nice to see them in place. Hopefully they meet their projected Q4 deadline. Tag: Yahoo Add to  Del.icio.us |  Digg |  Yahoo! My Web |  Furl
