So I'm new to YSM... I want my ads to show only for searches on yahoo.com. I have "sponsored search results" on and "content match service" off. Looking at my site logs, I have inbound links from landing pages. As in pages that are domain misspellings that just display ads to redirect people to the correct place and cash in on the ad click. How do I make sure my ads don't appear on those pages? in the google world I turn off the content network and that did the trick. how about YSM?
You can try and block those domains in your account (there is a 250 limit). If it's just a few domains sending this traffic, it might fix the problem. Otherwise, you're just going to have to lower your bids to a profitable level.
