    Why Yahoo Advertising is so much better then Adwords...

    Because when you call their 800 number for questions, a real live human being answers the phone right away and helps you.

    Google's automated system gives you the runaround and then tells you to go back online for help.

      Get a dedicated ad rep. Adwords has regional offices in most major cities where you can even meet with them, have lunch, etc.

            A) you CAN get a real person with Google

            B) when MS takes over Yahoo search you won't be able to advertise porn.

              I am not sure I agree with you. You don't just want some customer support floozy to answer you phonecall, do you? You need contact with a proper, knowledgeable person. Phone may be nice but what's important is the quality of the support, not the method. .. For me anyway.

              100k per month is a LOT to spend, though. You probably do deserve priority service.

                I believe the minimum is only 10-25k for a dedicated rep. Seriously, send them an email and ask for one, preferably one local to you.

                        Times have changed, ~ 5 years ago Yahoo SM was the biggest crap to deal with. But their system was so fucked up that most advertisers gave up, so there was way less competition than on AdWords.

                              yeap, same experiences here. I chalked it up to Yahoo wants your business and is trying to get market share so they provide good customer service. Where as google has the you need me attitude and if you can't jump through their hoops they figure 100 more people will take your place... which is the type of attitude that will ensure them NOT being on the top in the not so far future.

                                    On some of our programs, Yahoo actually converted better. But man Google's Support Sucks.

                                      Which seems strange because if you type in porn now on Bling, it shows you everything and more.

                                        Are you spending a $100k in one account or all under one MCC? I highly doubt they would let that kind of spend go on with out someone at least contacting you. If you have it spread over a number of different logins, get a MCC for it all to flow into, then you will be noticed.

                                        I have a few clients that have reps and they are only spending $10k a month.

                                        hit me up tomorrow and I'll get the ball rolling for you to have a rep or at least see if my guy can get the ball rolling for you.
