It may just be the industries I'm advertising for, but Google remains the most competitive search engine for me. For certain terms (general terms usually), I have to bid 2-3X higher in Google for strong ad positions. But when looking at Google/Yahoo! in relation to traffic, it is much more difficult to get volume from Yahoo!. @ Shuyler,

My rep is responsive and eager, though I do have to be vigilant about him rationalizing an increased monthly spend, of course. :-) I have found it interesting how the relative scarcity of traffic on Yahoo v. Google for certain terms affects my strategy; with Google i'm just dipping into this massive pool but with Yahoo, I feel like I have to be more aggressive.

I have received decent advice from my Yahoo reps (with specific instructions). Before I had dedicated reps, however, the advice I received from general support staff was far worse than the YSM blog post. I'd be interested to know who, exactly, writes for the YSM Blog? @ Kerstin, Thanks for commenting! You hit the nail on the head - contradictory and nonsensical. 'Nuff said! @ Michael,

Sure, we need to educate the newer SEMs and help them navigate different PPC engines, but the whole post seemed to contradict itself, especially with the salesy issue. Totally agree with you about the ampersand - I don't believe it has any bearing on how "professional" it looks. I was very confused over a lot of these points.
