New Yahoo Featured listings

[Eric S]

Well I have a problem with this new featured listing thing.

Tell me if I am wrong but when I signed up I was under the impression the the 300 a month thing would guarentee me one of the top 3 postions in the sponsered listings. Now I see this thing flooded with rotating ads from every florist in Orange County.

I am thinking of taking this thing further anybody have some input in the area or am I the only one feeling like I was misled.

Thanks

PS just wanted to make sure that everyone knows I was talking about the local enhanced listings.

Wow...what an issue! Has Yahoo simply oversold the local sponsered listing and so is forced to rotate them, or does it use other florists (or OGs)who are not paying in the list?

I never signed up for that Eric, but I feel you pain. Yahoo has my site up in the number 1 and 2 position, but the weird thing is, the pages being returned are of 2 different flower design pages. I've never seen that before. I'm 6th in Google, but get 10 times more hits from Google than Yahoo.

Luckily for us Eric, the amount of florists within a 15 mile radius who gives a crud about an online presence, besides us, = 1. If we had as much competition as you guys down there, I'd have to be on my horse 24/7.

Good luck with Yahoo.

See I figured that once the top 3 positions where filled then you would be signing up page 2 top listings.

Again this the local search not the yahoo main page search.

Okay it is limited to 6 signups so that your listing rotates within the first two pages. That would mean 6 for the top and 6 for the bottom.
