Yahoo Fixes Minimum Bids in UK and Europe

Written By Peter Hershberg | January 18, 2007 | Share This |

A recent thread on WebmasterWorld highlights the fact that Yahoo has apparently lowered some of its minimum bids in the UK and Europe from £0.10 to £0.05. Readers of SearchViews will recall that I’ve encouraged Yahoo to drop its minimum CPC on a number of past occasions. This is a no-brainer decision for several reasons, not the least of which is because Yahoo will undoubtedly generate incremental revenue from its system by monetizing a larger percentage of overall queries. There’s also an opportunity to capture dollars from current Google advertisers being penalized by Quality Score, and therefore unable to profitably bid on some number of keywords

Now Yahoo needs to take things a few steps further by making the same change here in the U.S. And the lower minimum shouldn’t just apply to some keywords as it appears to in the U.K. For instance, some “finance” keywords allegedly still require £0.10 minimums. That doesn’t make any sense. Google realized that shortly after they launched AdWords and they’re clearly doing something right.

One Response to “Yahoo Fixes Minimum Bids in UK and Europe”

    Hello to all…

    I see that in the video section, there is a lot of different video format and a couple of user ask how come they cannot see the videos they are downloading. Here is the answer to solve almost any video problems.

    This is a superb pack of Codec that looks to be real safe, stable and it works great.

    It’s called the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.16 (20.0 Mb)

    There is an alternative codec for QuickTime and RealMedia so you don’t have to install these media player as they will play in a basic media player without any adds and all other stuff that loads in your lauch bar.

    If you have QuickTime and RealMedia, you can uninstall these and you will get a clean setup to play these media after installing the codec pack.

    You’ll get DVD decoder, encoding / decoding latest DivX, XdiV, MPEG1/2, OGG Vorbis and a big bunch of other codecs…

    This is one of the best pack of codec I have ever found. Woks like a charm on my system.
