Yahoo Search Marketing, the Pay Per Click (PPC) division of Yahoo! Inc has been historically behind the 8-ball, or more specifically behind Google AdWords for the last 3 to 5 years of PPC advertising.
Yahoo’s argument was, we were the 1st on the scene and Google has since leap-frogged us by taking our model and improving upon it- an argument with some validity. But now 5 years down the road, Yahoo is still playing catch-up. This is even after the famous ‘Panama’ launch that was to solve everything. Not to be confused with your favorite South American canal, or a Van Halen song.
Well Yahoo has taken a small step in the right direction by now including a full ad scheduling feature. Previous to this upgrade, Yahoo’s scheduling was all of, start date- end date. Now, like Google, the PPC advertising can be scheduled to the hour, every hour of every day of the week.
For example, I want to push my Ad’s in the morning only, Monday, Wednesday and Friday but have evenings only on the weekend. You can customize and specify exactly to the 1/4 hour when your ads will run and when the won’t. The trick now is deciphering when and when not to run your ads.
