Yahoo Publisher Network For UK Publishers
Sorry, but if you searched and found this post because you’re wondering when we UK publishers will have a chance of earning on YPN, you’ll still feel let down.
I’m guessing you searched because you needed an alternative to Adsense, since they disabled your account for no reason.
Monetizing domains through development is a tricky business in the UK. I’m currently trying out Adbrite on a couple of sites, although they’re certainly not targetted, (they all seem to be the same ads, whatever niche or keywords you enter into their system), you may stand a chance of earning from site vistors curiosity.
I’ve had to do this because like many others, my Adsense account was disabled for no apparent reason. I’m a stickler for rules and stuck to theirs like glue, not even allowing my own family view the sites, let alone click on the ads.
Naturally my next port of call was YPN, but alas, no Brits allowed. In some ways it’s a relief as even if I had been approved by Yahoo, I would still feel as though I was walking along a cliff edge waiting for the wind to blow the wrong way. Those of you who do use adsense, never feel too safe, it can happen to anyone.
Cost per action affiliate links are all very well, but visitors have still got to go through the whole process before you earn anything.
YPN is just one example of why being a UK domainer has its disadvantages.
’til next time.

Not for long it seems.
Ive good authority that adshack.com is the (soon to be) sole licensed provider of YPN in the UK
I only heard this today so it may be fresh off the press or total BS.
All good

@Linda, it’s still a nightmare. I’m trying Chitika at the mo while they seem very good for bigger niches, they’re not so good for the small ones - not enough advertisers, I guess.
