YPN (Yahoo Publisher Network), Where Did You Go?

Dec 9, 2008 - 8:17 am 3 — by

Remember Yahoo's Google AdSense killer? Yea, the Yahoo Publisher Network, or commonly known as YPN. Haven't heard about that service in a long time? That is correct.

The last time we posted anything about it was on October 13th and it was titled Yahoo Improves Publisher Network Relevancy. It was basically a Yahoo rep going around to the various forums announcing that Yahoo has improved the relevancy of the product.

Since then, not one peep from us on Yahoo's Publisher Network. Why? Well, as you know, we cover forum buzz and since the forums are hush on the topic, we remain hush.

The last post at WebmasterWorld's YPN Forum was on October 24th. Someone just created a thread today at WebmasterWorld asking if YPN is dead. His reasoning?

This board doesn't seem to be getting any activity these days. Is YPN dead for publishers around here?

No one will argue, or no one has argued - at least yet.

Sad to see no news, at all, on YPN for this long - but I guess this is the new reality of Yahoo?
