Yahoo terminated my account...

I have been with yahoo since the beginning and just now got this email. My site has been the same and has been getting alot busier over the years. Does anyone know how I can get my account back? Here is the email.


Thank you for your participation in the Yahoo! Publisher Network Beta program. As part of our efforts to ensure high-quality traffic for advertisers on the Yahoo! Publisher Network, we continuously monitor publisher attributes such as:

1. Suspicious click activity.

2. Advertiser conversion rates.

3. Overall quality of leads generated on your site.

Unfortunately, due to poor traffic quality, we have terminated your Yahoo! Publisher Network account ID xxxxxxxx. In accordance with Sections 6(a) and 6(b) of the Yahoo! Publisher Network terms and conditions, we will not include clicks from non-U.S. users or otherwise invalid clicks in your payment. We have refunded amounts generated from the non-U.S. users and otherwise invalid clicks to our advertisers and will pay any remaining amount owed to you in accord with the Terms and Conditions.

If your earnings balance is in excess of $100.00, you will receive your final payment within 90 days via the payment method you selected. Please note that we will not make payments for any earned balance less than $100.00. The final payment will be adjusted to exclude any amounts generated in violation of the Yahoo! Publisher Network Terms and Conditions and Program Policies. For example, if we determine that all traffic is non-compliant, you will not receive a payment.

Sincerely,

 

This really SUCKS..this business of conversion STINKS.
What is the conversion rate of a site advertising "Watch the Latest Videos Online" ?
what is the conversion rate of this type of YPN Ad - "Pimp Your Myspace Profile" ?
obviously those site owners just wants visitors and are not selling anything.
let me see the geniuses at YPN / Google answer that?

 

I have emailed them asking how I can get my account restored, but no response yet

Has anyone had any luck in getting their account back after they got a email like this?

 

I know several people who got there accounts banned, each making mid $X,XXX+ monthly. None of them got their account reinstated.

 

that's messed up man!!!!

 

Yeah, that's really messed up.

 

we will not include clicks from non-U.S. users or otherwise invalid clicks in your payment.

Are non-US users invalid clicks and how do you control that?

 

they dont even give control to display ads to us guys only

 

That's a done deal, they got your social (SSN)and everything when you signed up and now that they have terminated your account, there is no reinstatment.

 

Its sad that you lost your account . How much was there in the YPN account.

With that simple script, you can display YPN to US visitors and adsense (or any other ad) to non US visitors.

 

I had a little over $3,000 in there

Sean, thanks for the script. Maybe I can email them and tell them I will add geotargeting to my site

I'll let you know what they say, if they even reply

 

Thanks for the info. That script will come in handy.

 

YPN has been going downhill for the last 9 months....I look for them to close in about another year if this keeps up.

 

Well I got another email after I asked about being reinstated

We apologize for any inconvenience about your Yahoo! Publisher Network account being cancelled. Under the current Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program we will not be able to re-activate a closed account.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

Sincerely,



Can someone recommend another program like yahoo or adsense?

 

lol
contact for what?


anyway
my recommendation is better to use your own advertising program
sell banners and text link on your website without any middle its much better and also you will get more clicks

 

Besides Yahoo or Adsense, what to use?

Try this: http://www.google.com/search?q=google+adsense+alternative The RossWalker article looks good. I may try some of that

I used TribalFusion for a while - the ads looked good and at least at the time I was doing it the payout was better than adsense.

Forget about YPN until they come out of beta.

 

I would say wait for a response but it may be hard to re-open another account at this point. As listed above they have all of your info...

 

Sounds like a good idea to stay away from a beta that will get you banned.
