Multiple Yahoo Local Ads?


I am trying to optimize my Yahoo local listing for some of the surrounding areas that I serve and I'm curious as to whether multiple listings in nearby cities are allowed. I am coming in #1 for a couple of searches using Savannah Ga., but I can be a few pages down for some of the nearby city searches.

I do already have the cities that I serve listed in my current Yahoo Local ad.

I have a feeling it is against Yahoo's rules but I could not find it in writing.

Thanks,
Curt

Hi,

Sorry... I don't have enough idea about it as I have never tried Yahoo local listing.

Well, I will look forward here, if any one knows.

I've been meaning to cancel mine for months now due to the low volume. I just checked and I am #1 in several towns, not a violation of the TOS's if you are paying them.

Thanks, I am actually referring to their free business listings. For the past month or so my calls have mainly stemmed from Yahoo and Google using their free business listings.
