Looks like yahoo's releasing a new contextual advertising program which is meant to compete with adsense. The new domain is has just gone up. As soon as the program is active i'm going to sign up. Its about time that there was a better option then adsense.

Are you sure its practical to sign up for something that hasn't been certified and tested by others? Google's adsense program although they do scam people but i still see so many people using it. So this means that they do give out money for advertisers. Yahoo!'s "adsense program might be better maybe but tell me: Who's richer?

yahoo lol. they've been around long and own so much more.

good try though

Hmmm...The new yahoo adsence program seems like it will be nice though. more info on the matter would be appreciated though. I have no time to look it up right now.

Yes, Yahoo is richer.

But, I think that since Yahoo's search is based off Google, I suspect that the code for the ads will be very similar to the Adsense code.

I would be very interested to see the code side by side and see if that is the case.

but, a lot more information would be really helpfull to this site, and please don't cut and paste it all.

I believe that Google's bots and algorithmns are better than Yahoo!'s, so I think that Google Adsense would be better at guessing the content of a page and serve relevant ads better than Yahoo! contextual advertising program.

There's only one way to find out and thats to test it. I'll put it on one of my sites for a few days and see if theres any change in profit, although adsense has been very good for my sites.

Google Adsense Sucks. Its really a big scam. They dont care for publishers at all.They value the advertisers (which is good). But just because a publisher does not pay them any money does not mean that their accounts can be simply deleted or terminated without any notice or approval. ( REad this, you will know the real face of Google Adsense - http://www.astahost.com/Google-Adsense-Suc...ense-t2867.html )

Anyway, I look forward for Yahoo to start its advertising network. I will be glad to join it. More than Yahoo, I trust Microsoft. I have never heard any cases of someone being cheated by Microsoft. And I am waiting for them to start this type of a network. As for yahoo, they have already started this service and it has a limitations on the publishers who can sign up . only big companies who recieve a lot of hits (in millions) per day can signup. I hope they will soon remove this restriction.

And btw, Google is not the rich guy. Alexa ranking shows that Yahoo is the #1 site. All noobs who are introduced to Internet know Yahoo. Yahoo mail is more common and there are thousands of accountn. And also, have you ever noticed how large is the Yahoo website. I got an E-book which teaches how to use yahoo effectively.

Just curious, but what is this domain they've registered?

Anyway, I'd like this. Currently, AdSense is the only advertisement program that scans the apge so the ads are actually relevant to the page's content. If this new Yahoo rpogram won't require me to give my Social Security number, I'm signing up.

You're really against social security numbers eh Jguy?

Meh well...There are a few other ad programs that scan the full page for relevant words...Some of them even take it a step further and make those words into little ad links...I know this because some members ont he site have that technologie and it seemed pretty engenuise to me.

Ad for opaque...Well you really h8 google man

N I love the h8 thing...But I'm still a optimist for them...Because I really don't want my account deleted

sO I just pretend they are nice and hope everythign works out

Yahoo...On the other hand is quite hte big site, you are right on that opaque. But to whoever mentioned that thing about yahoos search being based on google...I doubt it's possible since yahoo was here way b4 google

. Meh though. It should be interresing to see how this all works out...I dunno if yahoo has enough of a crew to respond to allt he help emails that will be sent though...Just as google can't.

where did you here about this? I never heard about this or maybe im just dumb? I dont think it will be as popular as google adsense but it will atract some people. I might use it if it ever comes out.

Urgh. Yuck! Google is offering it and now Yahoo is offering it as well! Well, they are TRYING... Here's the URL: http://publisher.yahoo.com/

Anyway, Yahoo's adsense is called publisher... I rather prefer Google better because they were the ones who made it first. Anyway, you never know what Yahoo! Publisher is going to be like, so I can't decide yet. I don't think Yahoo! Publisher is out yet. You can only register on their website for the mailing list and wait patiently while they make it. I like google better than yahoo somehow, maybe it's because of the roomy space google has on it's front page. I dunno, but I'd stick with google if it's like nearly the same

sorry if this was posted somewhere already, but i looked and didn't see it.. i was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what this new yahoo! adsense-type program is about?.. i don't know what google's adsense is or anything about it either, so if someone could sort of explain it to me, i'd appreciate it .. is it just getting paid for people clicking on banners on your websites?

Yahoo! was made in 1994 by Stanford graduates David Filo and Jerry Yang

Google was made in 1996 by Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin

mmmm i smell simliarity. Anyways it seems now everyone is just following in Google's footsteps. For example, the email storage, it was only after Google launched the 1 gig revolution did every other major company out there change their policy (god do you still remeber the 5mb Hotmail days?)

So basically Google is just killing all the other engines out there (although Yahoo! is the most visited web page) and every time someone uses Google it becomes more revlevant thus causing more people to visit Google making it more and more popular.

I used Yahoo! in the very beginning, I found it to be less user friendly then Google because I'm loading a whole site instead of just loading a search bar (The Google simplicity is rather unintentional, the founders are computer majors and sucked with graphics which is why they have such a simple layout... man they should have hired me) but Google is just dear to me (my friends actually work there)

Anyways onto Adsense program. I really like Google's program although they have been known to suspend ads if they realize people are just clicking it for revenue... I guess I see where they are coming from.

Ad wise I heard Clicksor is the best paying ones (but they have pop-ups which suck)

So for my site I'll probably be using Adsense from google and I'm not really excited about Yahoo's product... its just not exciting or orginal.
