Yahoo Search Marketing
What is Yahoo Search Marketing? In a nutshell, it's simply that search engine's version of the Pay Per Click model called Adwords search engine advertising made famous by Google. With it, they promise it's everything you need to see a great return on your investment in advertising dollars.
If you are at all familiar with Google's Adwords, then you already know exactly how it works. Basically, the marketing strategy is, you partner with the search engine and they present your advertisements to their clients (anyone using the free search area).
The exposure you receive is pre-arranged and so is the cost of the ads. Here's some good news, there is no seo involved. No domain name search
, or sometimes no need for a website if you are selling from auction sites etc.
The actual ad is placed in exactly the same place as in Google, (both engines having learned an important lesson from Ask.com's mistakes), across the top and down the right of each page. You bid on clicks in the same way and are given preferential rankings based upon your bid amounts.
