    Hi,

    I just noticed about click on my ads today but something pissed me off. My campaign setting has been changed about keywords bid from $0.10 to $10 for each keywords without my permission and they also changed my campaign setting by turned off content match and change overall bids for every keywords under my campaign to $10. It costs me $5.67 per click and not converted to me :mad: I just mailed them to ask about this and I never see greedy too much like this before. How they can do that without my acknowledge? They are b***shi* abd hope to get their clearly explanation soon.

    Yes the most likely explination would be that you have had your account hacked, contact them and explain that this could be the case. They will soon clear you of any debts you have occured from this.

    I had contacted them and they told me my account may be hacked. Actually, I am working on System Security Analyzer so my pc setting is well optimum protection for sure and I'm the only one in my home that use my PC (I live alone, actually) so I told them that some of their staff has changed my setting for sure. I don't think who could get benefits to change these setting except them. It's bad for Yahoo to underestimate their customer about security knowledge. This thing never happened with MSN or Adword and this decrease my trust in Yahoo. After I told them, my bid never changed so if my account was hacked then it should be happened whether I told them or not. It stopped after I let them noticed.

    $56.7 for 10 clicks within half an hour and no conversion :mad: It may not be a big money but I am sure that I didn't set it. How mad if I set to pay $10 per click? and got charged for average $5.67 per click? I set for $0.10 for EVERY SINGLE KEYWORDS!! However, I think I cannot expect for any positive feedback from Yahoo! for now. I had paused all campaigns in Yahoo and continue using Adword and MSN Adcenter (but for MSN :eek: cannot expect good traffic results either)

    At least it was only $56 dollars. Once I let a campaign run over night, I was usually paying $1 per click, I wake up in the morning, and saw that 30 minutes after I went to bed, the offer I was promoting expired. I had about $430 without a single conversation since the offer expired.
