Yahoo has announced that they will require advertisers to provide a shorter 70-character description for all PPC ads as of May. The current 190-character descriptions will then be optional and will only be used in certain ad formats. In June, Yahoo will then begin cutting off ads at 70 characters. The maximum length of ad titles will remain 40 characters, but display URLs will be reduced to a maximum of 35 characters.
