yahoo ads on a website

[gdtechind]

now that yahoo has given us the option to place their adverts on our websites. can anyone give us a quick guide on how to implement ads on our website.
We are finding difficulty in seeing the ads on the page.

thanks

Nothing has changed for a few months now.

they told us to start displaying their ads for testing but their code isn't easy to implement, so i wanted to ask if someone else knows how the code can be implemented.

If you share the code it would be easier to understand i guess. A example of yahoo ads is present here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/nokia/ I guess ;)

[gdtechind]

yes, am also asking for any help frmo someone who has done it on his website

[mobo]

I must say, I have waited in anticipation for this to come to be but has anyone actually read the tos ? Thay want either 2 million web searches or 20 million page views per month...Thats rediculous..

[tom22]

I believe that's for what they currently have with sites like CNN, MSN, etc. ;)

I'm sure what they come out with won't have that requirement.

[mobo]

Lets hope .

Don't worry mobo, they wouldn't have invested all this time in development if they were just revamping overture.

This is probably going to be what many of us have been waiting for.

I looked at crazyhorse's referal URL out of curiosity, viewed source, was struck by how long and involved the Y! code is, and then went back and refreshed the page to see if more relevant ads came up as suggested in another thread (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=11021) here

I found, to my surprise, that GOOG ads had replaced the Y! ads on this page - all within a few minutes. The Y! ads are back again now, but I know it wasn't a mirage as I copied the G code down to look at it.

The web page "real-estate" (160 x 600px) and page positioning was the same; the coding for Google (javascript) far simpler than Y!'s encrypted stuff.
Flikr seems to be taking its testing very seriously - but then it would as it is a Y! company.


re: mobo's concern about qualifying at 20mm. page views (PV) per month, ....that would be about 0.65mm PV / day.

Using a really rough approximation of the Alexia number (http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/traffic_learn_more.html) of PV / day* (3 mo. average per user of of 3 popular sites: Ebay 13.7; Microsoft 3.0; Amazon 6.5 = 23.2 / 3 = 7.73, call it 8), that would be equivalent to about 0.65mm / 8 = 81,000 gross (non-unique) visitors per day. Which is waaay out of my league, but do-able for a few DP members probably.
[For comparison, Flikr apparently has a 3 mo. average PV of 7.3, ???? visits per day, and an Alexia traffic rank of 596]

On the one hand, Y! has a great deal of experience (Overture, Geocities, Y! hosting, Y! mail, user profiles, etc.) and systems inplace for dealing efficiently with millions of users. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if Y!'s version of AdSense would be a lot tougher to get into than G's, even when it gets fully out of beta - dealing with a few thousand high-traffic publishers might give them a good enough return and far fewer headaches, especially if they can compete on price (CPM etc.) very aggressively with G for that select and relatively small group of publishers. The rest of us might not get the breaks that we hope might come from increased Y! competition for AdSEnse.

*The page views per user numbers are the average numbers of unique pages viewed per user per day by the users visiting the site.

[elavenil]

it is same like google adsense?

Ok....that's just freaking insane, they can say byebye to that idea before it even starts. Stupid in my opinion. 20 million page views per month...psshhh:rolleyes:

[admans]

Yea thats jus completely ridiculous...only the top sites will Yahoo ads..so much fer there dreams of competing with Google.

[mobo]

Perhaps thats thier way of weeding out possible problematic smaller sites that have been ejected from Google adsense.

[SEbasic]

Thay want either 2 million web searches or 20 million page views per month...Oh my......

This is for Overture Site match. :rolleyes:

Not the new "Exciting" yahoo alternative to adsense.

See this thread (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=11021) for more info. (It's still in beta)

they will annouce it soon for small traffic websites. the 20 million page views is there for years, the new and improved program for small websites is coming soon
but no body knows when.
