Getting to Know You

As part of our continuing efforts to identify and respond to your needs, we’re looking for a few good publishers to take part in a pair of research studies. You don’t necessarily have to be in the beta program to qualify for either study, and both studies offer a financial honorarium.

The first study is for non-Yahoo! Publisher Network beta publishers only, and involves focus group interviews in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose (during the SES 2006 conference) or New York City. If you are not part of the Yahoo! Publisher Network and are interested in participating, send us an email with the following information and our folks will get back to you with the details:

• Full name
• Company name
• Primary site URL
• City
• Telephone number
• Email address
• Type of publisher (domain portfolio owner, blog, social network, Directory, e-commerce)
• Primary site page views per month
• List that you are interested in focus groups in the subject line 

(Please note that we will contact you only if participants are needed in your city.)

The second study is an online survey for both Yahoo! Publisher Network beta and non-beta publishers. To participate, simply click here. You’ll be asked a set of questions up-front to see if you qualify.

What’s in it for you, besides a better network to work with? One: It won’t hurt—we’re researching your publishing needs, not pain management therapies. It might even be a little bit fun to learn about the direction of the Yahoo! Publisher Network. Two: Cold, hard cash. Both studies offer a cash honorarium if you qualify.

Your information will be used only for research purposes under Yahoo! Search Marketing’s Privacy Policy.

Thanks for your help.
