Search Term Selection - With Assisted Setup, Yahoo! experts research your Web site and recommend effective search terms based on the content of your site and Yahoo!'s editorial guidelines. With Self Serve, you select your own terms following Yahoo!'s editorial guidelines and submit them for editorial review.

Titles & Descriptions - With Assisted Setup, Yahoo!'s professional writers create titles and descriptions for your search terms that are highly customized and meet Yahoo!'s rigorous editorial guidelines. With Self Serve, you write your own titles and descriptions following Yahoo!'s editorial guidelines and submit them for editorial review.

Budget Advice and Strategy - With Assisted Setup, Yahoo! experts develop a customized plan to meet your financial objectives by drawing on search volume data and your budget requirements. With Self Serve, you can research Yahoo!'s search volume data yourself.

Control of Your Campaign - You retain full control of your advertising with either sign-up plan. If you select Assisted Setup, you can submit search terms, budget considerations and other special instructions for our experts to consider when creating your proposal.

Tracking URLs - A tracking URL is your Web address (http://www.mycompany.com) with a special code attached (http://www.mycompany.com?source=overture). This lets you identify clicks from the Yahoo! network, even when the clicks are from one of Yahoo!'s partners.

If you sign up with Assisted Setup, Yahoo! experts will automatically add tracking codes to all the URLs in your proposal.

Editorial Approval - With Assisted Setup, the search listings in your proposal are put online upon your approval. Self Serve listings receive no expert feedback before submission and are subject to editorial review, which may take longer. Self Serve listings that do not initially meet Yahoo!'s guidelines must be modified and resubmitted.
