Yahoo YSM: Went crazy, minimum up for any reasons

    I used to like YSM so much (good conversions) that I told all my partners about it. Now

    Totally destroyed campaigns. The bid went up incredibly ridiculous to .70-$1.00 with no reasons:
    -Keywords with revelancy on landing page and contents: bid UP .50-.78
    -Keywords in title of homepage and domain name: bid UP 1.00
    -Keywords that I can run on Google Adwords for .20: bid UP .72 (what?)
    -Keywords that I can have for FREE on Google organic search: bid UP .65 (what?)

    I have deleted all but the last campaign just to see what they want. Crazy Yahoo, shame on you. What about your guys? Any luck?

    I've noticed the same thing, and I'm about ready to dump yahoo. I'm not satisfied with the quality of traffic I get from them anyway, so this could be the final nail in the coffin...

    I don't like the results I am getting lately either. The past few weeks has really been horrible when it comes to sales.

    Since I'm not using Adwords at the moment, I can't tell if this is just YSM, or another trend i.e. economic issues.

    Anyone experienced similar results with Adwords?
