Updated News: Yahoo Publisher Network in International Markets

Well, just got off the phone with one of their account customer service representatives and here's the answer from them themselves

YPN will remain in beta until the first and second quarter of next year, only after that will they begin looking at / considering opening up Yahoo to international markets.

Guess we have to wait guys!

 

Hmm, so we are looking at something mid-2006, even thats not a confirmed date for the YPN opening to international publishers.



Not great news, but thanks for posting it

 

what a bad news for Adsense Banned persones ( like me )

hopes are down now

 

i have applied a few times
i llive uk, but have a skooldays.com aimed at usa market on USA servers.
do i need to live in USA to qualify?

 

do you have a united states social security number by living in the uk?

 

Anyone (even non-citizens) can get a tax ID number from IRS...you could incorporate in the state of maryland for example, get the tin number, apply to YPN and voila!

 

Crummy ads = Beta for a long time!!

 

You are also need to be a US resident and would need to pay state and federal coporate tax on the revenue. Incorporating and paying a cpa to file returns would probably run a few thousand dollars. I don't know if Yahoo would actually not pay someone who wasn't a resident, but it's in their TOS.

 

We have to wait more 6 months?! What a tragedy!!! Is it possible to wait this historical time usually? Why Yahoo! fells international publishers on nervousness? Per day looks per year to me!!!

 

It's a shame that all these people want to use YPN so bad... all the while I have an account and don't use it.

 

Its a looong time, but thank you for information.
I want to try it in the summer.

 

Still a quite long time to wait then...

 

If you form a corp. they would pay. There is no residency requirment for all the forms available to form a corp. I think Sub-S is the only one with the residence restrictions.
The taxes are an issue, but depending on the form you take, you may be able to pass through most of the income. The fees are no where near what you say. Some of my LLCs costs ~$50 a year. The popular states for forming them are NV, DE, and WY.

 

i am also looking for yahooo and yes msn ads is still in beta..

beta beta...

 

hope yahoo will support better than adsense in Chinese web site ~

 

i doubt it

 

The US residency requirement is Yahoo's, not a corporate restriction. Many states have a minimum annual tax or filing fee - even if you don't make a profit. You also need to have a resident agent. Some states have a flat rate tax. You have a CPA that will do your taxes for under $50? I find that hard to believe.

 

Well don't feel too left out. Yahoo's great payouts have been dropping like a rock the last week or two. My payouts dropped about 70% in the last few weeks with consistent visitors and no changes to layouts.

Could be due to holiday budgets being lowered, not sure. We'll see how it goes after the holidays.

 

I haven't seen a drop in the PPC, but visitors aren't spending as much time on the sites or visiting as many pages. I think this is because they have less disposable time to spend looking at certain non-ecommerce sites because they were busy with holiday shopping.

A drop towards the end of month isn't that uncommon as a lot of advertisers have used up their monthly budget. My adwords placement has increased while the PPC has dropped, which indicates that there are less advertisers right now - or they aren't willing to pay as much.

A lot of doctors that do elective surgery offer reduced rates in December because this month can be a hard month to get business.

It's also possible that Yahoo is taking more of a cut, but I'm going to wait until the first week of January - when work schedules return to normal - before I draw any conclusions.

 

This is just pure conjecture, *but* if Google's rates are low because they are taking a large cut, I'd assume Yahoo will take a lower percentage for the first year maybe. They are a dark horse so this will make them more attractive. Most of the hype and reason why people want to join YPN is the higher payout.
