To help you out, here’s a little cheat sheet of what NOT to do: Don’t sell beta keys in an online auction, message board or anywhere else (the opposite applies as well: don’t buy beta keys, they won’t work). We gave you that key and for you to go re-gifting it. No re-gifting! Don’t put our ad code on sexually explicit sites. It’s very naughty. Don’t duplicate (*cough* STEAL *cough*) content from other sites. We want to be with someone original. Don’t place images next to ads. It’s dishonest and we want to be in a long term relationship with publishers everyone can trust. People will think those images have to do with the ads, and when they find that the site they’ve been directed to has nothing to do with them, they’ll be pretty miffed. Don’t block the crawler. It keeps us from getting to know one another and is bad for both of us. Honestly, your blocking is not helping. Don’t go nuts with the ads and place them all over every page like they’re your content or something. It looks like you are trying too hard. Don’t manipulate our ad code. We’re flexible and already offer plenty of choices. Don’t send us traffic from Zimbabwe or Ireland. Not that there’s anything wrong with Zimbawe or Ireland, but right now we’re just not ready to make that big, international commitment. We’re working on it, though, so be patient, and good things will come. Don’t use inappropriate ad targeting. If your site is about flowers, it’s not cool to be targeting finance. Read it all at http://ypnblog.com/blog/2006/07/19/what-not-to-do/. I know a total of 3 people (including myself) who have had to remove images, they are getting stricter and smarter (lol)!
Sry, but how the hell are we suppose to do that? I mean, if we dont even use targetting, we get loan ads... Does that mean we can break their rules once we have had them a few months? (jking btw )
It's kind of like a common sense guide on how not to be a scumbag publisher... the surprising part is that some of you actually need it
Another tip - don't be like the first comment poster on that Yahoo Blog post. LOL... that was too funny. He's practically asking for his account to be shut down.
i was about to post a topic on this, but I'm glad yahoo has made the choice to clear most of the commonly asked questions.
I was removing my adsense ads from my Kristen Bell fan page only to se that YPN showing ads for erection pills and car ads, so my adsense was back realy fast.
Most of this stuff is common knowledge, I see a lot of sites with 5+ YPN ads on each page, and i think that is way too many, but hey everyone does what they do for a reason.
