Is there a option to turn this off within your Cpanel or do you have to call them to let them know?

Hi Jonathan,

What a great post!

Kudos on your Blog!!!

#2 on page one of Google search has wet my appetite on looking at your SEO info. As Gen. Macarthur said, “I shall return!”

(That probably dated me!)

So much Helpful Information and you are giving it away free!

How I agree that marketing budget is a main item in … any business.

No Marketing Budget made it so hard to get my ‘Brick & Mortar’ Business going! “I MEAN SLOW!” Therefore, Diversifying and endeavoring to generate additional streams of revenue has brought me to the Internet and I appreciate the goodness of people like you, who are here to help.

And to find out about Yahoo before I even considered it, is ‘frosting on the cake’.

Not having any budget (To Begin With!) started my search on finding something with, which to do it.

One thing that caught my eye was a question I stumbled on searching for marketing budgets, “What is better than free?”

Nevertheless, “getting paid for doing it” was right down my alley!

Thanks again for the Great info, D. P. Gatten. http://tinyurl.com/2d88ck for more.

Jony –

Awesome and timely advice!

I just had a wicked cost overrun yesterday.

I called YSM support and they took care of it right away. I also switched my billing too.

Thank you!

Yes, this is horrible. I had a $2,000 per day budget set and they nailed my card for $6,000+ before. I am still on the "automatic refill" plan, but pay closer attention to my campaigns. YSM can get out of hand quick if you don't watch closely. Most people claim YSM is pretty good for set it and forget it, but it never worked for me. They also have a big problem with deleting keywords for invalid reasons. They recently deleted a keyword with the word black in it stating it was racial, when it was simply a name of a band. Also deleted Napalm Death Ringtone campaign for having the word napalm in it. There were a lot of cases of keywords being deleted for bad reasons. I still love using YSM for those cheap clicks though ;-

The first time Yahoo did that to me, I was a bit irritated. I'll definitely give them a ring in the morning to turn off auto refill.

Thanks for the tip, Jonathan. Great info as always. >

I totally agree with you. I actually found out by accident (by speaking the their customer service rep.) that you can call them to change your account to prepaid.

Google has the best system over Yahoo and MSN. Google just bills 1 time at the end of the month. Yahoo and MSN really need to benchmark Google!
