    Yep, I applied about a month ago. Got that email earlier this week, so I assume it will be another month or so before I can get approved. arrrghh...

    I also got that letter, I was excitied when I saw it in my inbox, then disappointed there was no invitation link.

    Is that letter a good sign?

    So for you guys that are getting that email, what kind of sites are you applying with, and are they US based? I just submitted an application myself. Hope I'm accepted! I used one of my proxy sites as my URL.

    I got that same letter, about 3 days after I applied. Not bad for response time, but it wasn't an invitation either :(

    Supa my site is U.S. based with about 80% U.S. traffic.

    I don't see how the letter is a good sign, I thought it was basically a nice rejection letter.

    but i guess they will keep you in mind and when they want to invite more people they will send you.

    Unfortunately, besides the fact that my site is in english and targeted to whole world (or with no special targeting at all), I think I have no chance to enter YPN program just because I am not from USA, which means that I have no SSN or Tax ID Number... IMO, this kind of sites should be considered for application, too... Yes, I've been rejected with the same message twice :( At least I am sure that I am not the only person waiting :)
