Hey guys, I found a site which looks like it is breaking YPN's TOS. Link - http://ianag.com/ Here are 2 reasons why I think it is: 1 - Has 2 contexually based ads on the page, YPN and AdBrite 2 - Babe videos, only for adults (link - http://www.ianag.com/arcade/cat-25-p0.html) Here are some of the names of the videos - Amazing Breast Flexer, Fhm Norwegian, and 2 Girls Kissing. Can I assume that they are breaking YPN's Terms of Service? PS - This is the same site that sold for over $55,000, and was making $10,000 a month off of yahoo:
1. NO! You are allowed to have adbrite if its not on contextual mode. In his case its on buying ads only. 2. Grey Area. Girls kissing, and breast flexing isnt really porn yet its not PG13. If they wanted to get rid of the site they will use it against them. Otherwise if the traffic isnt fraudulent and there is no advertiser complaints they are fine.
What do you mean? I know I have been keeping up with that site, BUT the owner is about to get termianted. He has gotten over 5 emails from yahoo about breaking their TOS.... They should have gotten terminated for even showing how much they made on that pic, its pathetic :-\ So what do you mean streatching it far?
Your allowed to show what you make aslong as you cover up what they have already. Also its not breaking any tos. Put your jealousy aside move on with your life man.
Sounds to me like you might have been banned from YPN for some reason, maybe something similar to this person. I might be wrong, just a hunch. With other people's sites, it's between them and Yahoo. Not much you can do, regardless of what you think they might be doing wrong. And by the way, how do you know that the owner has received 5 emails from Yahoo?
well dude he's doing what he wants with his site, i dont see why your tripping over it so much. If yahoo wants to kick him out, they will.
Dang guys calm down I was just asking if it was breaking the TOS. Im not tryin to attack the site, but I was just wondering about it. The way i found out that they have been warned by yahoo is from the forum and the owner posting emails of what yahoo sent him.... Sorry guys
This is the post that people probably are thinking you are "tripping" over this. It seems as though pushing for him to get banned, just a common perception based on the replies to your post. There are a lot of things that happen on the internet that we can't control. Some have happened to me - i.e. someone stealing my content. Some things can be controled, some can't. Don't worry, YPN isn't afraid to ban if they smell something fishy. Trust me, I know that they investigate accounts that make a lot of money, b/c I've had that happen to me as well. The bottom line is that if the traffic is legit, clicks are legit, and they aren't breaking any other rules, it won't be banned. Which mine wasn't banned.
Dude regardless if he gets banned, time will tell. But he isnt breaking any outright laws. Yahoo will decide that, not us. Instead of policing the net, work and build your sites.
Ianag is a successful arcade and if he recieved E-Mail's from YPN, it's completely up to him. Why would you even want to publish this on DP? Just to raise people's eyes, even though they'll forget about it after a few days? If you wanted to get the owner's attention, why not just send him a PM or E-Mail?
Do they use geoip to filter out international clicks? I would love to place 2 units ads on the same page but couldn't
Why do you have a picture of a cow humping another cow? That's pretty random when you're talking about YPN...
sixty6, we all know that using tactics that are extremely eye catchy work only once...mabey twice....so yeah, he may get a couple thousand clicks on his gals, but in the end, ypn is going to cut the strings. oh yeah sixty6....where can I find the xml feed for my arcade site?
It's funny how you have the courage to talk about other people's websites breaking the rules. Yet by looking at your arcade website we can see that you are breaking them as well. Let me quote the TOS for you sir. By looking at your website. It seems you are labeling your google adsense as Latest content! Now your not perfect either are you Wait a minute.. Are these random games? NOOOOO they are adsense ads with a picture on top of that.
