Screenshots of Yahoo Ads

Finally, US website owners have an alternative to Google Adsense. The Yahoo! Search blog announced the launch of The Yahoo! Publisher Network Self-Serve Beta - an alternative to Google Adsense. Blogs are set to be the main target for the service.

This beta is by invitation only. Participants of the program must be a resident of the U.S., with valid U.S. Social Security number or Tax ID.

Jensense has some more details on Yahoo! Adsense. They do allow custom tracking channels (similar to AdSense channels) and URL channels. There is a current limit of 50 active tracking channels, which I hope to see raised. I currently run more than that many channels on AdSense at the moment.

It offers the same ten ad unit sizes that AdSense offers, although some of them offer a different number of ads (such as YPN’s large rectangle showing only three ads).

You can also block up to 200 advertisers from showing up by adding their URLs into the ad blocking tab.

Yahoo! plans to deliver blog ads based on human editorial judgment. You may also consider signing up for the Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program.

Jensense also posted screenshots of the Yahoo ads control panel. They looks so much inspired from Google Adsense. The screenshots show the Color choose, code layout editor and the report viewer.
