    Couldnt find info on how to do the equivalent of {KeyWord} (as used in Adwords), but for Yahoo Search Marketing.

    Anyone know if it's possible? Dont really feel like writing out 200 versions of the same ad.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Shoemoney, if someone could also confirm/elaborate, or even point to some documentation that would be good

    Why do not you test it yourself by making a test ad and run for few hours. IF with the same ad text and display CTR is improve it will work.

    No, doesn't appear to be {ovkey}. At least not in the preview window. I sent in a request for info and (if they get back to me ever) I will follow up here.

    I got a prompt email reply back from YSM Customer Service. They say there is no code you can type in to get the keyword to repeat in the title. Let's hope the new version is better...

    I am currently testing the {Keyword: default_text} in Yahoo! However, im not sure the new "Panama" YSM version has been rolled out in DK yet... but when I get any results, I will post it here.

    I cant believe Yahoo! is SO SLOW on making it easier for us PPC marketeers to use their system :confused:

    It is also almost impossible for normal people (read: not internet marketeers) to start a YSM campaign. Its difficult to find the login and "get started" pages, and the learning curve is a lot higher than Adwords...
