Contextual

I'm buying traffic from Yahoo, a bit of search traffic but mostly content network (from Yahoo partners), and I get a lot of ad clicks from that traffic. But no conversions. Is it a scam clicks? Had anyone used Yahoo successfuly?

Well, it could also mean that people are not liking what your site offers. It could be the product or the service or the content of the page... How are your conversions doing from traffic coming from other referring sites/search engines anyways?

If they are clicking on the ads it means things are not that bad (?) But it seems like they are clicking on ads TOO OFTEN. It's strange. Ads are all from good companies: Discover, Chase, Credit reports, etc. This (paid traffic) website does not get any sales lately despite of increased paid traffic. My other website that gets organic SE traffic gets sales regularly.

Are you using Yahoo paid traffic?

Why don't you try PPC instead buying traffic from yahoo.. Because we all know that traffic from yahoo has a big difference in Google..

It is PPC. Why is it a big difference?

Well! Out of all the wild imaginative things anyone has EVER came out with, that has to be one of the most outlandish.

I spent over $100 on yahoo ads, and had no luck I spent less on Google ads and had a better turn over.

Lol Yahoo traffic is worseless man. People can barely distinguishe between 1st place listing and advertisement listings.

To see if it's scam clicks, you could always see your stats and see how many pageviews your getting on avg from these clicks. If you are getting just 1, then it's very poor quality, if it's 2 pageviews, then it's not as bad, but the better verdict is that if the pageviews is coming in similar to your whole sites average pageviews per unique, then it looks like the clicks are not to bad I guess.

Scam? Not always.
I used same system (but not Yahoo - I worked with McTraffics.com) and I've and clicks and conversions.
Self serve advertising platform is really good service.
And if you haven't conversions you sholud think about campaigns details and settings. Maybe is it reason of bad results?
