Just came across this article. Searched through the forum but couldn't find a thread. If there is one, sorry. http://news.com.com/Yahoo+to+launch+blog+ad+network/2100-1024_3-5815551.html?tag=nefd.top
That totally rocks! I can't wait to see it, and I feel the strong possiblity there will be increased competition in the form of Google and Yahoo competing for space by trying to see who will pay more.
Why do they call it 'BLOG ad network'??!! I want to try the Publisher Network, not some blog network!!!
Will both ads be allowed at the same time on websites? or is that already against Googles massive T.O.S.?
i reccomend using a php script to alternate, i did this before, even with multiple ad units. You could test performance and finally stick with what suits you better.
initial impression - http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/08/03/inside-the-yahoo-publisher-network-beta-with-jen/ Looks like the beta is US-centric - typical
the beta is supposedly restricted to 2000 US publishers until the end of the year. That's what an article in the NYT said today.
I read that in another article, too. I guess it's good that they test this before it goes live but I was really looking forward to some competition for AdSense sooner rather than later.
Has anyone posted any examples yet showing what the YPN ad formats look like yet? Been busy collecting some of the hottest YPN buzz for you this AM so you can read all the best info, all in one place! Even have some samples of different Y ad formats for you to see. I have a big blog that has links to examples, links to articles, interviews, other forum discussions and also to Y's own blog about it. Too many links to copy and reformat this here right now. So just click to read. Yahoo! Publisher Network - All the Buzz is Right Here! http://affiliate-blogs.5staraffiliateprograms.com/2005/08/03/yahoo-publisher-network/ Then come back here to discuss...
I just got an invite to join this network. I submitted my info, and they said that'd do a review of my site and let me know-- they're inviting more people than they plan to accept, I guess... I'm curious how it could pay out much when just starting(not enough bidders)... -- Derek
