Not only does Yahoo! owe me close to $10k in unpaid affiliate commissions, but now they are raising their minimum credit card charge for Yahoo! Search Marketing (PPC) to $250.00. While Yahoo! claims this “in line with the industry’s competitive norm” I don’t see Google or Microsoft doing the same thing.
And then they issued this statement:
From November 3, 2008, until December 31, 2008, Yahoo! will be making a seasonal rate adjustment by increasing the cost per click (CPC) by 25% in all categories. This means that during this period your actual billed CPC will be 25% higher. This adjustment reflects the increased consumer buying activity during the holiday shopping season, which is typified by increased leads, better conversion to sale, and increased revenue for our merchant partners. The 25% adjustment to your billed CPC will be reflected on your Click Report and in your invoice.
I even received an email telling me my phone support has been discontinued. Someone please explain to me why we continue to advertise with Yahoo!? It is getting harder and harder for me to answer that question.











The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?" 
My experience with Yahoo support has always been dreadful. When I owned Yahoo stores and paid them every month for the pleasure; I either received the same exact canned email responses over and over again (none of which ever addressed the problems), got people on the phone I could not understand, or people I could understand who could not solve my problems. The problems I had never got resolved.
Yet, when I had problems with Microsoft software purchased many years ago in college for literally a few dollars; their emails were never canned and the phone support was amazing. They actually worked hard to understand and fix the problems.
The content is very good.

Jerry, you are correct, they are a nightmare. About a year ago all of a sudden our $4 a day account gets hit with $100 a day worth of worthless clicks, and they tried to rationalize that these were in fact legitimate clicks. Good thing I had analytics in place to show where they were coming from and were fraudulent but still took me months and they never did refund the money, they just added it to our account so we would keep using them. For our market, its not worth my time, very few of our searches even come from there.
