How To Improve YPN Ad Targeting – advice from Cody Simms of Yahoo at PubCon, Day 2

• Try to integrate keywords into the URL – You can do this using Permalinks.
• Use strong anchor text keywords on pages that LINK TO the page with the Yahoo ad – Using anchor text is important in search engine optimization as well.  Make sure that your ALT tag is filled.
• Description text that immediately follows the page links is also looked at the determine context.
• If you don’t update the site often, add some dynamic elements to the page to encourage the Yahoo bot to revisit.
• For pages that are constantly changing, use their category targeting.
• If you are using meta keywords, make sure they appear in the content as well.  If not, they look like spam!
