Yahoo Publishing Network Agreement Excludes Non US Readers From Viewing Ads
A reader just emailed me to let me know that he'd been accepted into Yahoo's Publishing Network as a beta tester but that he'd noticed a rather odd clause in the agreement that he had to enter into.
The section in question reads:
‘you are a US-based business and you are operating Your Site solely for viewing and use by users within the US; and
…
display all or part of the Ad Unit to any user located outside the US;'
I knew Yahoo were only accepting US publishers into the beta test - but to limit them to only show ads to US readers is news to me and rather impractical. I know that I've seen quite a few sites with YPN ads (I'm in Australia) so either a lot of beta testers are breaking this agreement or YPN have made some sort of a mistake with the clause.
Strange.
