A WebmasterWorld thread asks how can one who is based in the UK and has ads currently running in the UK with Yahoo Search Marketing also have ads for the US market?
Yahoo has set up their pay per click management system to require you to set up new accounts in each country region that you want to advertise in.
For example, if you are a USA based advertiser and want to advertise in the UK, you must set up a new account in the UK with the Yahoo division there.
Keep in mind, Yahoo does allow geo-targeting within the country you are in. So US advertisers can target New York users, if they wanted to. How?
