Indeed it is against both YPN and Adsense TOS to display a competitive contexual ad network at the same time. He should be using some Geotargeting.
Google ads where nearly invisable, but he does have both types of ppc ads on there, and it does break both googles and yahoo's TOS. Report them. Rob
Why didn't you send him/her a reminder instead of asking YPN to ban a fellow publisher? If anyone likes to do volunteer policing job for YPN, the right place is their messaging system.
Nothing better to do than worry about others' sites?? Yahoo makes billions... let them handle their own problems Unless you have a spare billion laying around. and remember ... what goes around...comes around
i agree with you Sem... again. not that i've seen the site in question, but i have seen people testing geotargetting and during their tests, both G and ypn ads were showing. just imagine, a wannabe cop, reporting that user and getting them banned. people really should mind their own business. if not, ask ypn and Google for a job, you might as well be justified and getting paid for your policing. and i would be careful of the enemies you make, one day you may post a site asking a valid question about it and have somebody retaliate via your publisher code. jmo
Publisher code lifting could be a big problem. You have no way of proving that it isn't your site should someone decide to sabotage your account by pasting your ad code on say a neo nazi or porn blogger blog or something.
Some networks do not count stats from websites unless they are pre-approved. For instance if you want site #2 to have their code, you must submit it and they will either accept and add it to the system or say sorry. It would be nice if YPN could adopt such formula. B4 that, we are all sitting ducks I hope at least they warn publishers b4 banning for something like that.
I do not believe it is against YPN's TOS to display a competitive contexual ad network at the same time, only Google Adsense. It just turns out that Adsense is the only one worth running beside it.
