Here are some of the most recent/important questions/answers that I’ve piled together. Staff, feel free to add or delete anything that may be off. I think that this needs a Sticky, because we always have people opening new threads asking questions such as these.
When is Yahoo going to be available Internationally?
- Nobody knows. Some say in June, some say in 2007. We will have to wait and see. Curently, YPN is only available to US residents.
How can I apply for YPN?
[I]
- By clicking this link. Or by buying a YPN inivite*[/I]
What is Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN)?
- Simply put it works like this; You display ads related to the content on your site. You’ll earn revenue from qualified clicks. Very similar to AdSense, etc…
Does YPN have their own blog?
[I]
- Sure thing, just click this.[/I]
How often will I receive my check from YPN?
- Anywhere between 30 to 45 days. It depends.
How many ad units can I display on my website?
- Any amount you want. There is no limit, but 4 ad units is recomended.
In order to place my ads on another one of my sites, would I have to open another YPN Account?
- No. You can put your ads on as many sites as you want. No need to open second account.
Can I buy a YPN Invite?
[I]
- *People do it, but it is not allowed accord to their TOS. Big risk you have to take.[/I]
What do I do? My reportings are not showing!
- No need to freak out about it. YPN is still in BETA, dont be surprised if you see such days. Your best bet is to drop them an email, or look thru the forums to see if other people are having a similar problem.
After I apply, how long do I have to wait till I get my Invite?
- Very hard to tell. Some people wait a few days, while some wait weeks/months. The word on some forums is that YPN is not accepting anymore publishers but I doubt it.
How can I get a hold of YPN via phone?
- Their phone number is (866) 785-2636 and should only be used for serious questions. Please look thru the forums, and see if there is answers to your questions before you do anything.
Am I allowed to show picture near my ads?
- A lot of people are negotiating wether they may or may not, but since I have the actual email from “RON” who is Yahoo’s Relevance Analyst, and has the latest from Yahoo, that states that you are not to have any images,
pictures, animations, texts or other devices placed near enough to
Yahoo! Ads so the user may be confused ino thinking there may be a
relationship between the image and the Yahoo! Ads. That should sum it up.
Can Yahoo! Ads and AdSense Ads be placed on same page.
- Google and YPN ads can not be displayed on the same page at the same time. You can however use an ad rotator to rotate between Google and YPN on the same page just so long as both Google and YPN isn’t shown at the same time on the same page.
Does Y!PN have a “direct-deposit” option?
- It sure does. It was first introduced on May 20th.
Can Y!PN automatically deduct my taxes before i get a check?
- Yes they can. All you’d have to do is go to your Tax Information page in your Y!PN account and check the “Certify IRS Form W-9” along with filling out rest of the page/info.
