Yahoo PPC is driving me crazy

Hi,I recently started on Yahoo PPC.

I was running a campaign for a clickbank affiliate product for a few days with no problems and then when I submitted a new variation of the ad, I got "editorial declined".

The message said:
"The ad does not focus on the products or services of the brand in the associated keyword."
Then it suggested:
"Rewrite the ad to include the trademark in the title and description. Make sure the trademarked product or service is the focus of the ad"

The message is so vague that I have no idea what the actual problem is.

Yahoo won't explain what that means.

I have no clue what to do about it. I dont understand why it's suddenly a problem. Could it be a problem with my keywords? I do have some domains as keywords. But I have domains as keywords for other campaigns and there have been no problems.

Can anyone help?

    Need the keywords and ads but I understand if you don't want to make that public.

    I'm guessing you are bidding on keyword "brand X product" but your ads and the landing page are about "brand Y product".

      Hi!

      Thanks for the quick reply!

      My keywords are mainly just generic words apart from a few domain names, but I thought we were allowed to bid on domain names? That's one of Frank Kern's "screw google" strategies.
