Havn't been approved? Call them at (866) 785-2636. Maybe a phone call will make you part of the next batch of those approved. (I'm only posting this part here just in case they change the page so you have to become accepted to see the page with the phone number!)

They got an FAQ there, but it's currently short.


At this time, the beta version of Yahoo! Publisher Network is only available to publishers within the United States. We will provide details on availability in other countries as soon as they are available.


I think the FAQ is a little out dated, unless Canada became the 51st state!! http://www.vgchat.com/images/smilies/bounce.gif http://www.vgchat.com/images/smilies/bounce2.gif

And then

Though it's already linked to on main page.

If you find any other secret links on the site, post them! http://www.vgchat.com/images/smilies/bounce.gif http://www.vgchat.com/images/smilies/bounce2.gif

Actually 52nd. Right after Mexico, and right after NAFTA came into effect. ;)

But seriously, thanks for the links. Better to RTFM before joining any program, and I want to be informed before I sign up.

thx,

It isn't open to Canadians yet. I was a special exception as one of the original batch of betas.

It will begin to go internationally at the end of the year when they open up the release from being invite-only.

Yahoo has a tendency to write pages way ahead of their useful time has been hit. If you own a yahoo store, you know all about this. FAQ and help pages are sometimes written before new software is released. while other FAQs that are WAAAAY out of date are kept online forever.

Yahoo - for being a major portal - is lacking in keeping their own information up to date.

you may receive a promotional rate of compensation for your participation in the Beta Program and that we reserve the right to alter this rate at any time.


Translation: We are giving you high pay-outs right now so you will tell every one that we pay more than Google does. We have a spy who has joined Google AdSense so we have an idea of what Google pays out. We will continue to do this promotional rate until the out of bete news dies down a few months after we are out of beta. Then we will pay you less than Google pays you!!!


# Confidentiality. You will not disclose or use Overture's Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means any information disclosed or made available to you by Overture, directly or indirectly, whether in writing, orally or visually, other than information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known and generally available other than through your action or inaction or (b) was already in your possession (as documented by written records) without confidentiality restrictions before you received it from Overture. Confidential Information includes but is not limited to all information contained within Overture's reporting systems, the Ad Code, the Terms, the Policies, click-through rates and other performance metrics and any other technical or programming information Overture discloses or makes available to you.


No wounder no one is saying how much they make! The best they can say is Yahoo pays more. [We don't know about this promotional rate so we hope the rates won't go down when beta is over!] Google has less discloser rules than Yahoo!!!


You agree to notify Overture of any disputed or missing payment within thirty (30) days of the date that payment is or should have been received. You understand that you will have waived the right to dispute the accuracy or receipt of payment after that time.

Translation: Wait more than 30 days before contacting us about a missing payment and you don't get a check!! While Google want's us to wait 15 days but I don't think they say anything about not geting paid if we wait too long!!!

There's one think I can't find in the links. What's there Net? Do they pay monthly, or every three months!

It looks like YPN is choosing legalese over common sense:


We will not show results on pages that contain problematic content, including but not limited to:

Political, religious or charitable organizations, issues or causes
