New Overture/Yahoo Marketing Allows You To Import 3rd Party Campaigns. How Do You Import Adwords Campaigns?
Posted Sunday, June 13, 2010 by admin
Sorry, limited characterse in headline… In the new Yahoo! Marketing (Yahoo!’s version of Google Adwords), they offer an option that could be a huge time saver, if I only knew how it worked. They allow you to import your campaigns from other marketing systems, but in order to do it you have to download some file that contains all the information, in order to upload it to Yahoo!’s system. Does anyone know if you can download a file from Google Adwords to do this?
There is this section of help files that contains instructions for transferring AdWords listings into Yahoo Marketing.
But when you go to the Campaign tab, the “Import” tab indicated in the help files is nowhere to be found.
This is because you need to be “gold” status on your account.
If you are either starting a brand new account in Yahoo Panama, or are upgrading a small-ish account – You will not be given access to the Bulk Upload feature. Only accounts labeled as Gold or Platinum will be given that access.
You can’t “request” Gold status. You have to earn it through account activity and spend. So, if you don’t already have Gold status, you’ll have to edit your account the ole fashioned way.
However was able to upload my campaigns after I exported them using Good Editor:

You don’t have to “earn” anything to get the import function to work. Just call and speak to your rep and they will turn it on for you. The issue is that Panama still has a ton of bugs.
