I know that Google Adword is pretty much a king in the term of traffics, search, and sales. But since my Google Adword had been banned in the last years and I am have no much luck with the SEO, I decide to give a try on Yahoo PPC..but then, I kinda skeptic on this whole Yahoo PPC since I am pretty much live under the Google's wing for a long time.

Many peoples told me that the traffic that Yahoo PPC brought is ridiculously low but how low could it be? 1% over Google search?

Is there any success story of warriors in here who are using Yahoo PPC service? I am not aiming high like 5 digits earning per month...In fact, I would be extremely satisfied if I can earn steady $500 per month with it.

  • Yahoo used to work really well for me a couple of years ago but Microsoft/Bing has surpassed them in perfomance as of late.

    This is how I would rank the major PPC's:

    1. Google AdWords (#1 because of the traffic)
    2. Bing/Microsoft (lower CPC, good CPA)
    3. Yahoo (will be phased out within a year)

    Yahoo and Microsoft are forming an alliance which will take effect within the next year: Yahoo! and Microsoft to Implement Search Alliance - Yahoo! Finance

    If you can't open an AdWords account, I recommend starting with Microsoft adCenter.

      phased out within a year? What will be taking over? or it will close?

  • Well, it was the longest "beta" program I've ever participated in, but I received this email from the Yahoo Partner Network this past week:
    I would suggest that you look elsewhere.
  • I love Yahoo! They have great traffic and still a lot of volume. I have several campaigns that do very very well. Bing is great too but the volume is not quite there yet.
  • Yahoo for me used to be somewhat profitable. But as others have stated, Bing performs much better in most niches.

    In saying that though, Adwords is still king. Even though it's too competitive nowadays to be truly profitable (unless of course you have deep pockets).
