Well I don’t really love Yahoo as much as Molly and Gracie, but I’ve been thinking lately that I’ve only been in this whole online marketing realm for 6 months, give or take, and I’ve found Yahoo (well at least the new version) tons easier to understand than Google…in terms of algorithms, how to get placed where we want to be placed, etc., etc…
But sometimes I feel like it’s too good to be true…like one morning I’m going to come into work and BOOM Yahoo will have exploded our account and we will be in the red!
How come Yahoo’s algorithm doesn’t seem to have changed like they said it would a while ago? I mean when Google says they are going to do something, they go all the way and follow through, I know what to expect with Google…Yahoo who knows…maybe they’ll change their algorithm, maybe they’ll just “say” they did to scare people into better quality and not really do anything at all…(which I’m totally cool with by the way…it sounds like I’m complaining, but don’t get me wrong, I have Yahoo figured out right now…at least better than Google…and do NOT want to see any changes).
I just like to know what’s coming next and with Yahoo and I assume I do, but we all know what happens when you assume…
So is it just us or should we be prepared for our little Yahoo ball to drop? Should I be creating the first ever Yahoo bomb shelter or should I just keep chugging along, like the little engine that could? Anyone have any opinions or have a similar situation?
Time to go play with the dogs and not think about Yahoo/Google for awhile!
PS- If the ball drops on our Yahoo account tomorrow -I blame myself ?

Just curious, are you referring to organic or paid search?

All paid search stuff for me
