Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a pageview?
A: Advertising impressions are sold based on pageviews. An ad pageview is counted when the page on which an ad is scheduled is served by Yahoo! to a user. We use this metric since it is not possible for Yahoo! to track ad impressions from cached images that are on a users computer, or ad impressions from services that cache the Yahoo! site. Such impressions would be over and above the ads served by Yahoo!.


Q: Does Yahoo! provide advertiser reports?
A: Yes, advertisers can access daily online reports for each ad, showing placement, pageviews, clicks, response rate, and a variety of other metrics.

Q: How do I access the stats for my Yahoo! campaign?
A: Yahoo! provides each advertiser an individual password to our proprietary stats system once the campaign begins. The system allows the advertiser to view the daily results of the campaign by impression and click-through for each creative execution.

Q: Can I create custom buys for any ad campaign?
A: Absolutely, yes. You can create custom buys, subject to availability, with Run of Yahoo!, categories, search keywords, and fixed category pages.
