In Yahoo! Gemini campaigns and ad groups, the desktop bid adjustment can range from 0% to +100%.

You can set the desktop bid to 0% indicate that the device bid adjustment should be the same as the keyword bid.

If you set the desktop bid adjustment at the campaign level, all ad groups in the campaign inherit the setting unless you override it by specifying a different setting in individual ad groups.

A desktop bid adjustment is set using any of the following methods:

• Set manually in campaign or ad group settings.
