We have 2 pay_per_click accounts: one for the US and one for Australia. I have noticed the last 3 days, yahoo.com is not displaying any sponsored ads, while Yahoo Australia is working fine. As a result our daily budget is half as big as it should be for our US account, while our Australian account is stable. I was wondering if anyone noticed or knows anything? Many thanks

I am located in South America and the Yahoo US ads are definitely showing up on Yahoo.com when I do a normal search from here.

It may be that Yahoo is not showing US ads to you if you are located in Australia. Try using a US proxy to view Yahoo.com from the US.

If you need help with this just sticky me.

Many thanks Tropical island. I am located in Ireland (Europe), hmm, so I am a wee bit closer to the US than Australia ;-). This is very strange

Hello,

I just solved the problem. From outside America, you need to go to Advanced Search and select United States as the country, then it works. This setting is only necessary for yahoo.com though and not au.yahoo.com
