When oh When is Yahoo Search Marketing going to be Upgraded?
August 11, 2006
This short and not so sweet post is the direct result of countless hours spent uploading hundreds of new entries BY HAND so any comments should be taken with a grain of salt
Place: Not somewhere exotic
Time: 11:30pm
My job should I choose to accept it, the uploading of over 800 key phrase listings and their respective categories.
My first question is what’s the fastest way to get these uploaded? Answer: Bulk upload. Now I just need to find it.
Time: 12:30am
I’ve just spent an hour trying to find the bulk upload tool for YSM and have not had any luck. The best thing I could find is a blog posting talking about it. (Seems to be a nice blog btw). Other than that, I’ve searched my own records and found an old template but Yahoo’s site has no instructions on how to send it in to the right department. I suppose I could wait until morning but I need this done now. I’ll keep trying……
Time: 1:00am
I’ve realized that there is no other way to get them in right away other than putting them in by hand. One by one…….Where’s the coffee…….
Time: 3:00am
Almost done. I’ve actually had to place pillows under my arms to reduce my “copy and paste because Yahoo is so far behind the times� fatigue. I wonder if Jackie Chiles would take my case…….
Time: 4:00am
Finally finished. At this point I might as well stay up. Maybe there’s a re-run of Real Genius on.
Time: 4:15am
No re-run on, must get sleep, rant about Yahoo later………
Time: Later
Well, well, well, some time has passed and I’m not so ticked off anymore. But I am still pretty ticked off. I could start any number of places but it all ends in the same place so I’ll just mention the ending and spare you anymore details of my life. The end is simple, where is the promised upgrade? I keep hearing about it. I keep seeing sneak previews of it. But the latest scuttlebutt that I hear is that it isn’t coming out until the 4th quarter of this year (that means October at the earliest). All I can say is this. When I promise a clients something, they expect it and hold be accountable for it. I’d like to let Yahoo know the same thing. You’ve promised it, You’ve set the date, You’ve kept bugging me with your representatives phone calls to go over the ‘exciting new details’, You’ve emailed me about……….SO WHERE IS IT? Please, just deliver on your promise, it will make the world a better place.

Great idea for a blog post. It really helped me out. I’m sure it helped a lot of other people as well.
