    The story goes like this.

    I was looking forward to advertise in Yahoo!Search. So, I "google" for "yahoo advertising".

    I was happy to see ...

    I went through the process, Step 1, Step 2 ... then at Step 3, I saw this ...

    I thought it (the setup) supposed to be free! Am I right? Then why I still required to pay for the setup fee???

    I walked away from Yahoo's searchmarketing straight away. I cannot trust my money with them because Yahoo cannot put its hands where its mouth is!

    Google Adwords is better! Use first, pay later ... and no setup fee.

    No, the assisted setup is not free. It is a service where they will help you set up a campaign. From what I have read, it ain't worth a hoot. Just sign up for a regular account and do your own campaigns. And yes, it is free.

    Assisted Setup is different that the regular setup.. it's an extra option you can add if you need extra assistance.. don't use it and save the $199 :)

    I am still confused about the YSM. My friends told that it help us on traffic. But I still confused how, and what is YSM. Sorry if OOT.
