Sorry to hear that it’s not concerning Europe also.

Considering that there used to be a minimum spend of $20.00 even if the advertiser did not make any sale, this change is truly refreshing. I also believe this move by Yahoo will prove to eventually be more profitable to the company, as more small businesses will gravitate towards Yahoo search marketing.

I am a small business owner and have been participating in Google Adwords for the past almost 3 years. Never went to yahoo because of the minimum monthly spend, but now this is great news.

but I am alarmed by the other post that you cannot edit your campaigns easily..? Is that so? how long will it take before your changes appear?? I almost signed up, but now I am hesitant again…

I run several adwords campaigns and constantly tweak settings because you need to. Many site owners will agree with this..

i agree this is great news. however, i would suggest one more tweak…please try to reduce the time that an ad an go live. very frustrating when trying to tweak campaigns…google allows immediate change and then they will edit later if need be…this is much more conducive to attracting new advertisers.

This is a great announcement.

Following on the heels of removing the minimum spend, you’re really inviting small businesses to try out your product – a very welcome change to the page few years.

Hope you make it to the next conference, haven’t had a chance to catch up with you for a while.

enjoy.
