I think you have a Great Advertising Site, It’s to bad it cant be used, I have 165 websites that are advertised in Manual and Auto advertising sites, But you (Yahoo Publisher) Have Decided to Limit the views by not allowing your ads to show up within a frame 95% of the Advertising Sites Use Frames to Show timed views and Sites are Shown Within a Frame. But If it Does not Bother them Doesn’t bother Me, I will Go Back to Google Where you Cannot Show Google Ads in a Frame But It does not Stop you from showing your Web Site in a Frame.

[…] With the launch of the new website yesterday Yahoo Publisher Ads looks to now be out of the beta version/testing and are live! I am hoping the new version will allow ads to show up internationally. I have not dug deep enough to figure that out yet, but I am very happy that Yahoo Publisher Ads is live and everyone can get a taste of freedom away from the “other” major ad program. I love Yahoo! Publisher Ads because of how nice the customer service is, and how they actually get back to you … unlike the “other” major players who just seem to not give a crap. […]

Golly, we’re sorry, but we’re not out of beta yet. We’ve just launched a new home page to link up you publishers — whether you’re in the beta or not — with all of Yahoo’s publisher tools and services. There’s lots on offer there, so we hope you’ll take advantage of them.

Hmm… all very good and nice… but it helps us not one jot.
We own a significant business site, with the vast majority of visitors incoming from the US. Our webalizer stats for top 5 sources tell us:
1 34.13% Network (most US, of course)
2 29.44% US Commercial
3 20.98% Unresolved/Unknown (again, most will be US)
4 2.01% United Kingdom
5 1.26% Australia
If you extrapolate it looks like over 90% from stateside.
But we can’t join: because we are based in the UK and don’t have a US tax number!
When is this farce going to end? It hardly endears Yahoo to guys in our situation.
October 26th, 2006 at 5:57 am
By the way: I might add that your UK outlet, OMG, is useless to us because they only reward UK traffic, and ours is US traffic as you can see.
We are damned either way by your totally bizarre policies.

[…] Hunt and peck no more. A one-stop publisher shop: We have gathered all our little Yahoo! publisher gee-gaws (badges for Flickr, Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! Finance, Upcoming, and del.icio.us; action buttons for your blog; Yahoo! Search Builder search functionality; podcast tutorials; and more) into one convenient place for your publishing needs. It’s all part of the revamp of the Yahoo! Publisher Network home page self-serve. Ain’t it great? Read more here. […]

All I am asking is to get an invite. I am in the US and have plenty of websites that have 100% US fan base. I have tried to get in over 9 times and have asked over 20 questions with 0 response. Is there some reason I am not getting in? I have read the guidlines up and down and every last one of my websites qualify. Come on yahoo whats up! I have been trying for about a year now, this is getting really old. Please let me in or email, call me and tell me whats wrong.

Hello,
This is probably not the right place to ask this question but here goes anyway. I’ve applied three times to YPN over the past month and a half and have yet to receive a response either way. Is there a large backlog in the application or does this mean my account was not approved?
Thanks in advance.

We have pretty much reached the conclusion that we should give with these guys now, regrettably. We really wanted to go with Yahoo rather than Google because we have always preferred them, and hoped they would be a bit more professional in terms of their communication and dialogue. This is particularly the case as we own a couple of major content sites.
But no. We just get nowhere: no response, just the public line about US based traffic (which we have) and generally total silence.
It’s a sad day, but we are off to Adsense. And that hurts!

I’ve tried signing up a few times and have received no response…is the beta locked down at this point? Like Morpheus’ post, I’ve heard nothing back from your publishing group, not a very warm-and-fuzzy feeling.
I’ve got a site that draws in a modest amount of traffic and have hopes to make a little residual income from it…but I’ll be heading to Google soon as well if I can’t get a response on where my submission stands.

Our US traffic site has today been accepted by Adsense after 4-5 days wait. This is therefore where we get off the Yahoo train, after going on 10 years of doing EVERYTHING Yahoo.
I’m really saddened by that. But you guys are really letting yourself down with this one. You seem to have entered this half hearted, and have taken for ever to get nowhere with it. We are just one, but just how much business must you have lost with this rudderless venture? I do wish you had done it properly.

Is anyone from Yahoo actually going to bother to respond to these posts? This is actually the YPN blog right? It looks like a joke when people here asking some basic questions that go unanswered. Aren’t good blogs supposed to have some sort of response to the comments?

I applied for YPN and in about 10 days got a standard “will be happy to sign you up when we are out of beta”. Google approved my account in 3 days. Is this publishers network for real or is it something kept amonst friends and relatives of Yahoo employees? Yahoo’s last quarterly financial annoucements said that advertising income had gone way down as did there stock values follow. If they don’t expand these type of advertising platforms-what do they think??? How long does a beta last-one two years? I am see $$ already on Adsense-maybe we will see YPN surface as a popup company or actixe x partner in the near future??(Of course as a limited Beta only??)

Oh-now I see the YPN issue-to borrow from a recent article from Market Watch: Yahoo Senior Vice President Brad Garlinghouse, in the recently released “Peanut Butter” paper….. “In the Journal’s version of the memo, Garlinghouse suggests a number of radical changes, perhaps the most dramatic is a suggested 15%-to-20% reduction in the Yahoo work force to address what he describes as “massive redundancy”".Apparently these YPN folks know they will get their walking papers soon-why respond to Blogs when how to pay the rent is on everyones mind??? Wahoo Yahoo!!! And I own stock in this beast.
