   Hi Mohan,
   I have some question , Can i use the new coupon code and new account with same website to verify again after fist coupon out of credit Does yahoo check it ?

   or i need to use new website with new account ?

   Thanks

   John,

   In short Yes, its possible! Here is a quote from the email I received from Yahoo! “… you would not be able to utilize the same display URL across multiple accounts. The system would read an error and only serve one of the accounts. The URL you employ for your display must be owned and or operated by the account holder.”

   So you cant use the same URL at the same time for multiple accounts. But you can use the same URL when the first account is NOT ACTIVE or when your balance is depleted. Yes, I have tried that and it worked for me.

   Although, I said you cant use the same coupon to open more than one account I know there are people who tried that and get the credit. But officially Yahoo! doesnt allow that but they do allow you to open a new account using the same credit card but with a different promo code.

    I’m looking for $199 promotion code but I couldn’t find it. It’s sound like I have to use $100 promotion code instead.

    Thanks for your information

12. Mahesh Mohan March 4th, 2008 at 9:45 pm 12

    promotion,

    Yes you are right you can sign up for two or more accouts with $100 credit each.

    hi,
    i am having around 15 , 100$ promo code, but i am having only one credit card…can i open 15 accounts with the same credit card under different email, user and password.

14. Mahesh Mohan March 14th, 2008 at 3:13 pm 14

    kriss,

    As you might have already noticed… one of the Yahoo representative told me that “You are more than welcome to open any amount of additional accounts using the same credit card, with any promotional offer that you may have being honored.” So the answer is yes you can open 15 account… but there is a confusion arises… In the landing page you can see that “Offer open to new Sponsored Search advertisers only.” but again I would say you can open multiple accounts and apply different coupon codes… but dont open all the accounts at once… do that gradually… and also dont use the same URL for all the account.. pllease read all the tips once again.. I have explained alll those things here… Let me know if you have another query.

    hi,
    thanks for your valuable info admin…..so while opening many ysm accounts..we have to use different(unknown) url , after that we can change right….the thing i want to use a single url…for this i make other account inactive..while other only one will be active? am right….do they access the previous record…. of mine

16. Mahesh Mohan March 22nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm 16

    kriss,

    Thanks for your comment. Well, to make it more clear…. You open an account using the promo code X to advertise the URL A.com and then you can signup for another account using the promo code Y to advertise the URL B.com and so on…

    What they say is that… if we use the same URL then the system would recognize that and return an error.. so that your account will be flagged…

    And yes you can do like this.. first open an account with the promo code X and advertise your URL A.com and once you redeemed all your credits you can signup for another account using the promo code Y and advertise the same URL…

    The fact is that you cant advertise the same URL or website using multiple accounts… then it will be called manipulating the search results..

    Strange thing happened to my YSM account. I had used a credit worth $75 before and now when I login after a few months I can’t see any credit.

    The YSM interface asks me to activate the account and also asks for billing info. And NO my account is NOT hacked.

    Anything you know about this strange behavior from yahoo!?

18. Mahesh Mohan April 13th, 2008 at 10:40 pm 18

    Hello Amit,

    I think you didnt entered the billing info during sign up… so login and complete the billing info and once you entered those things correctly wait for 24 to 48 hours. If you didnt see the credits after that period contact Yahoo support they will manually give you the credits.

    But if this is the second time you are using that $75 coupon then you are not qualified for the credit but you can sign up for another account using a different coupon and get the credits.

    can i open 6 YSM accounts with the same Visa gift card & promoting 6 # webpages with my name & # usernames & # email

20. Mahesh Mohan April 23rd, 2008 at 1:50 pm 20

    Hello sekoutoure,

    Yes you can open 6 different YSM accounts using the same credit card and billing address. But make sure that you use different promo codes and URLs for each account. And regarding email I am not sure whether you can use the same email or not. I used different email addresses and user names.

    - Mahesh

21. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 1:56 pm 21

    but can i open these accounts with a gift card and use my name sekou toure in these accounts, woudn’t it be a confusion.

22. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm 22

    can i open 6 # account with a gift card

23. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 2:03 pm 23

    i mean visa gift card

24. Mahesh Mohan April 23rd, 2008 at 2:13 pm 24

    sekoutoure,

    I am not sure about the Gift card… I used real credit card only… and even I used a VCC but it didnt worked… anyway you could try that.. just try to open one account at first and see if it works or not… and wait for the campaigns to become active… if your ads are running then you can use the same card to open additional accounts….

25. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 2:36 pm 25

    1. so can i open 10 accounts with sometimes the same promotional code but # url
    2. if i use my credit card, i will have to use my name & information on maybe 10 accounts, wouldn’t yahoo be suspiscious and suspend my accounts even though i use # usernames #email address # Url on each account

26. Mahesh Mohan April 23rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm 26

    sekoutoure,

    No you can’t use the same promo code for more than one account. It may work during sign up but they will suspend the account when they discover that. So you must use different promo code as well as URLs.

    Yes you can use the same credit card and address. No problem with that. I asked that question several times to their support team and their answer was “You are more than welcome to open any amount of additional accounts using the same credit card, with any promotional offer that you may have being honored.”

27. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 2:57 pm 27

    so if i used a promotional code to open an account and this account balance reached $0, can i open another account using the same promotional code with you know same credit card and information, # username #email #url

28. Mahesh Mohan April 23rd, 2008 at 3:01 pm 28

    sekoutoure,

    Well, if your account balance reached ZERO then you can sign up for anther account using a different promo code but you can use the SAME URL. No matter what YOU CAN’T use the same PROMO CODE.

    - Mahesh

29. sekoutoure April 23rd, 2008 at 3:05 pm 29

37. mike April 24th, 2008 at 3:13 pm 37

    This is great but once you use all promotion codes you can’t use any ever again?

38. Someone April 28th, 2008 at 7:52 pm 38

    Hi,

    Is it possible to applay promo codes to existing account?

39. Mahesh Mohan April 28th, 2008 at 8:15 pm 39

    Someone,

    Yes, but only if you didn’t used a coupon before. You cant apply more than one coupon in a single account. You can contact their customer support with a coupon they will add the credits manually.

40. sekoutoure April 29th, 2008 at 1:45 pm 40

    hi, i open up multiple accounts using # promo code # url ,& yahoo told to stop or they will take legal action against me

41. Mahesh Mohan April 29th, 2008 at 1:52 pm 41

    sekoutoure,

    How many accounts did you setup? Well, I told you I have created around 5 accounts using different promo codes and URLs and all accounts are active. In your case they may consider you as a SPAMMER. Well, I suggest you to create your accounts one by one i.e Sign Up for the next account only after you redeem the first account completely.

    - Mahesh

42. sekoutoure April 29th, 2008 at 2:22 pm 42

    i created 3 accounts , i changed my name, address, all my info, phon number , billing info on each account with the same visa gift card

43. sekoutoure April 29th, 2008 at 2:25 pm 43

    can i use my same information, billing address, same visa card to create multiple accounts with # promo code & # url

44. Mahesh Mohan April 29th, 2008 at 2:48 pm 44

    sekoutoure,

    Yes, use the same information for all the accounts. And as I said earlier I suggest you to Sign Up the accounts one by one and not all at the same time.

    - Mahesh Mohan

45. sekoutoure April 30th, 2008 at 11:48 am 45

    hi, do you know how i could get many virtual credit cards & visa gift cards so i could sign up for multiple accounts

46. Mahesh Mohan April 30th, 2008 at 1:54 pm 46

    sekoutoure,

    No I don’t know. Well, you could use Google to find some VCC or Prepaid Card Sellers.

    - Mahesh

47. sekoutoure May 1st, 2008 at 12:03 pm 47

    hi, i created 3 yahoo SM account with the same card & info. i used # usernames, addrresses, emails, promo codes like you said. i do not have a problem so far but can you guarantee it is going to work?

48. sekou toure May 30th, 2008 at 6:04 am 48

    hi

49. sekou toure May 30th, 2008 at 6:05 am 49

50. Mahesh Mohan May 30th, 2008 at 9:43 pm 50

    sekou toure,

    As I told you several times it worked for me… And I have posted here that its safe to create accounts one by one. Even though they allow multiple accounts let’s not abuse their system.

52. how to add more coupon codes in existing accounts? - Global Point Forum August 7th, 2008 at 3:15 pm 52

    [...] how to add more coupon codes in existing accounts? for new customers who have not advertised on yahoo in last 13 months…. but i have contacted them regarding this matter several time and they do allow this.. and check their FAQ page its clearly mentioned that you can use the same credit card to open any number of accounts… And the ySm team told me that you cant use the same promo to signup for multiple accounts and also at the same time u cant use the same URL for all those accounts.. and ofcourse u can use that when one campaign in expired…. or deleted……. Here is an article stating If you applied a Promotional Coupon during Sign Up then this credit will be shown in the Billing Transaction Detail report as an Adjustment. To view this report, log into your Yahoo! Search Marketing account and click the Reports tab. Click the Billing Transaction Detail Report and look for the Adjustment line item. (You can select the date range by clicking on the calendar icon located towards the top right of the page. You can select your own date range or a pre-selected date range). IX. Generally, when you sign up for an account via a promotion, the link you use will associate your account with the promotional code, which automatically applies the credit within 48 hours. If this does not occur, you can contact the customer support team at Yahoo! with the code to have the credit issued to your account. And, If you applied a promotion code manually by contacting their support team then please allow 3 to 5 business days for this credit to be applied. X. Yahoo?s guidelines don?t allow you to open multiple accounts using the same Yahoo! Search Marketing promotional link/code/coupon. Once they locate the account(s) that were opened with the same promotional link/code/coupon and same contact/billing information those accounts will be taken offline for promotional code abuse. But if you were to create a brand new account which is not associated to any other account you have, then Yes, you may use a different promo code to create a separate account. In order to open another account and apply another promotion code, you have to sign up for a new account with a new user name and a separate email address. And Yes, You can use the same Credit Card on as many accounts as you want to create. Thus, there is no limit to the number of accounts an advertiser can fund with a single Credit Card or PayPal account (You can now pay your Yahoo! Search Marketing bill via PayPal), subject to availability of funds in the card 10 Yahoo! Search Marketing Tips You Probably Don?t Know by Minterest | Money, Internet, Investing [...]
