    I am bidding 10 cents to have my ADs on Yahoo. Where do I find out what others bid so I can see if its worth outbidding them? Also what rank would this put me for a 10 cent bid? I checked the Yahoo search and has Yahoo stopped mentioning (Advertiser cost $x.xx) or (sponsor pays $x.xx) <--- shown in light gray text

    This is really bugging me because I cant find the information I need. My dad had his dealers paying like $1.67 a click to be 1st or 2nd in ranking and we were able to see how much our competitors were paying per click. Does anyone understand what I mean? This is important to know because maybe its worth for me to pay more than .10 a click if its going to put me at a much higher ranking on the Yahoo search engine page.

    Yahoo has recently stopped showing advertiser bids. They have also gone to a more "google" like system where CTR is factored in. 10 cents isn't a very high bid and you can slowly increase that and check where your ad is showing.

    Thanks for the help. Now I will have no idea how high to bid. Where do I set the bid to "auto" so Yahoo will bid just high enough(up to my max) to get me at or near the top?
