Wow. They didn't even bother to change it up all that much, huh? Yet another example that Google seems to be light years ahead of their closest competitor. It's almost pitiful if you think about it. Yahoo and MSN are hopelessly in the dark ages compared to Googs. Sheesh.

[markkk]

good:D I will now signup..

[City2]

Yahoo!!!! They better have some better ad formats!

[amitpagarwal]

This beta is by invitation only. Participants of the program must be a resident of the U.S., with valid U.S. Social Security number or Tax ID.

Thats great! Probably they will accept international players with in couple of months. :)

[Nintendo]

Rumor has it that there leting 2,000 sites in for beta.

[WhatiFind]

Have seen them on this page: http://www.jensense.com/

[Imran]

Nice thing, atleast one option has opend which is not as big as AS, but atleast you can trust them!

[robokoder]

When it comes out of beta, I may try it.
It will come down to whichever pays better, I guess...

[amitpagarwal]

Agree Cent Percent.

[alph]

....been waiting for something that is even close to adsense as far as payouts to publishers...maybe this will finally be it! (not getting hopes to high)

[PinoyIto]

This is a good news for US base webmasters only :( hoping soon they will accept international web owners.

[AfterHim.com]

I applied...

[Imran]

I cant apply :-", Have to wait till they accept internation websites [webmasters].
But I hope those who have joined the program will keep us updated about the payouts and about the program it self :)

[Klaas Koopman]

This is a good news for US base webmasters only :( hoping soon they will accept international web owners.

let's hope they will accept us aswell soon, so we can check if they pay more or not! let's hope we get a CPC War going on. Google increases payout! then Yahoo increases, then google again, then yahoo again! woot before you know it we are making 10000.00000.0000,00 from just a few clicks! :cool:

[UndiesHosting]

I applied, I guess now we just hope....

[bluegill_catcher]

You guys sure that is real ? I was told yahoo knows nothing about that page etc, it's a scam, getting your social security numbers.... I'm waiting for verification first.

[lurkster]

It's linked from the Yahoo! site it seems. Found this while looking on the site itself.

Link on the right side.

http://publisher.yahoo.com/

[xsoul]

how do some things manage to get on google instantly and others take hours-->to forever. when they both have google bot

[bluegill_catcher]

ok, that is Great.... Great news then, there finaly getting the program started anyway.......

I am always very leary of anything that asks for my personal info on this net anymore.

[exaro]

The link is not working for me, don't know why. I'd like to apply

EDIT: nvm it worked, i applied!

[bluegill_catcher]

That is the same link or thing I signed up for back in May or April, but never heard anything back yet....

[AfterHim.com]

It didn't ask for any personal info when I applied...They sent an email and told me it was by invitation only...So I guess we'll all have to wait.

Brandon

[stickman373]

I've also applied!

[LeeD]

I have applied as well!

[amitpagarwal]

Any actual publishers here ?

For the same ad format, how is the Yahoo ads CTR when compared to Google adsense ?

[Arnie]

I just wonder on how they will control their new project when their search alltogether is so messed up. I'm sure that they are afraid and concerned about this too.

Don't expect to much.

[Imran]

hmm waiting for their Invitation:rolleyes:

[_vlada_]

Adsense is on lowest level, and nothing better for publishers than good competition.
Now you can choose for same keyword who paying better. LOL!

[robokoder]

Nice to have competition, eh?
Shameless copy, though!

[BigPhil]

Are advertisers allowed by invite only as well?

[SEbasic]

I imagine that advertisers are from the OV network.

[MattL]

They may also be a little more flexible with their TOS which will allow to run some other networks currently not allowed by Google.

[dburdon]

Let's hope they make a success of it the US and introduce to the UK asap. We need some competition for Google.

[zman]

Applied. Will let all know how it goes if invited. :)

[hulkster]

The HULK (http://www.komar.org/hulk/) applied - doesn't say that Big Green Monsters aren't allowed! ;-)

[RectangleMan]

Thank goodness!

At least if we get banned from goog we have an alternative. Now for MSN to get into the act.

[subhendu]

I had a fear if Adsense was discontinued. Now I'm sure that it's going to be there. Adsense will definitely become better than Y & M ads in all respects. G thinks much faster than others. I'm happy coz now I know if (by chance) I get booted, i've another shelter. :))

[amitpagarwal]

I had a fear if Adsense was discontinued...
Why do you think so? Adsense is the source of maximum revenue for Google and if Google decides to discontinue it, that means something really serious.

Hi,

when do you think it will come to Germany?
And can I both take Google and Yahoos Ads?

lg Wally

[amitpagarwal]

And can I both take Google and Yahoos Ads?
lg Wally

I don't think so.

[hulkster]

The TOS for both forbid displaying Google and Yahoo ads on the same page ... but you could certainly run on different pages on your site.

[freshprince]

if Yahoo has a pay by Paypal option then i will consider switching..
i went ahead and signed up for beta testing as well just to see how it compaires to google

[kawebspy]

I don't think we, the publishers frm Philippines can avail that easily

[Yellowberry.org]

Off course you can not have google and yahoo in the same time just read google rules. They are very strict with that

[DieNamicz]

I just got approved my yahoo publisher... I send in my application a couple days ago and have just gottan the invitation e-mail..

[quattro]

[Web Gazelle]

[Web Gazelle]

[FOX LORE]

[wissam]
