What is your problem NY RE Broker? Of course I know how ad words work.

How could I have used 4 grand of adwords in the span of two days??? Use your head and don't insult me.

AdWords is Google, not Yahoo. Yahoo has a PPC program, but it is not called AdWords.

Yeah it's Yahoo! Sponsored Search or something similar to that (I think).

That sucks yhicsf, hopefully they get rid of all charges without it causing too much of a hassle.

I haven't used Yahoo for while. At the time, it was called Overture.

There was a feature that you could ad a fixed amount of money from your card rather than having the acount filled automatically. It seems that doing this was a lot safer.

Yahoo! will automatically bill you especially if they have a card number. So watch out!

2k per day? That's only 730k per year. Sounds reasonable
