It should not be legal I think. I've seen so many people buying and selling ypn account. Does that really works? I mean wont they be caught? Do they really make profit from that?
It is not legal to sell, share, trade, or buy a ypn account. It is right in there TOS! people that do this are at very high risk of loosing their account.
So is it really easy to get an YPN account for american residents? I mean those who have tax id? My brother is reading in usa currently since last 3 years. Can he have a YPN account?
YPN is open to people in the US only. It is not easy... They turn down alot of publishers. You should read this post from the ypn blog http://ypnblog.com/blog/2006/07/19/what-not-to-do and read over the tos.
This is true about ypn tos but YPN accounts are successfully bought and sold everyday with no problems. Some rules are real and some are just there for window dressing. I'm selling my YPN account if anyone needs one you can PM me
YPN only pays for US clicks.. and even then it doesnt pay very well. I wouldnt waste your time trying to buy one because even if you did, its unlikely that you would reach payout before getting terminated.
