VYFX · 08-03-2006, 07:20 PM

I just got this email from Yahoo's affiliate program:

Quote:

Dear Brian Wallenstein,

Yahoo! Small Business is pleased to announce the move of their affiliate program into the unified Yahoo! Affiliate Program beginning August 3rd AND the launch of the $1.99 Yahoo! Domains promotion on August 4th. Moving to the more extensive unified Yahoo! Affiliate Program will provide you with improved affiliate support and more opportunities to make money from selling a variety of Yahoo! services. The $1.99 Yahoo! Domains promotion is a great opportunity to drive Yahoo! Small Business orders.

You’ll need to make changes by September 1st, please read below

Transition to the Unified Yahoo! Affiliate Program
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/224006-1-99-domains-again-yahoo-starting.html

The Yahoo! Affiliate Program combines all the products and services that Yahoo! offers affiliates into one program. When you join the unified Yahoo!

Yahoo! Music Unlimited New increase in commission!
Yahoo! Personals
Yahoo! Autos
Yahoo! Games

Furthermore, you can access links, marketing materials, and product information for a multitude of great Yahoo! products and services… all in one place!

How will this impact your current Yahoo! Small Business commissions?
The move will not change the current rate card or cookie duration. You will continue to be paid the same for your performance.

If you drive traffic with paid search advertising, the change to the unified program will introduce new limitations for your campaigns. *Please see the Paid Search Advertising section below.

What do you need to do to continue promoting Yahoo! Small Business?
In order to continue selling Yahoo! Small Business products you will need to apply to join the unified Yahoo! Affiliate Program and update your Yahoo! Small Business links by September 1, 2006. If you do not update your links, you will not receive commissions for sales after September 1st.

I would never register a domain at Yahoo. I don't think there's any push at all.

Zilla · 08-03-2006, 09:07 PM

I have one name in yahoo, but I already foget what it is and what is my account ID there....need find it out from my gmail.....lol

Jo · 08-03-2006, 09:10 PM

I have heard there is no transfering of names with Yahoo.

So no use using them to buy and sell.

Good for your own use though (as long as you don't ever plan on selling.)

.X. · 08-04-2006, 03:04 AM

you can tranfer a name at yahoo...you just can't push a name to another account there,Hmmm,Maybe reg and transfer to domainsite or ect.. after a years reg

Dannoth · 08-04-2006, 05:04 AM

I dont like yahoo, and therefore dont use them!

cache · 08-04-2006, 05:19 AM

not same,

sometime people using "transfer" refer transfer a name to other registrar, like from yahoo to domainsite
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=224006

while "push" for internal tranfer from one yahoo account to another yahoo account..

Charley · 08-04-2006, 08:27 AM

Ok, so then transfer works alright ..... This is a good idea then ...... Cos most of the people use other registrars..

Jo · 08-04-2006, 08:35 AM

Sorry about that, I got those two mixed up also.

deu12000 · 08-04-2006, 07:41 PM

Yahoo isn't that bad. The interface sucks and everything, but for $1.99 how can you complain? I registered several domains from them, waited for some good godaddy coupon codes and transferred them to godaddy and had a two year reg for the regular price of one year. I also did some five year registrations at yahoo and transferred them out. This is a great deal for transferring out (and basically getting two years for the price of one) and really a great deal for
multi-year registrations.

Charley · 08-05-2006, 02:03 AM

That is a cool idea , deu ... Do they accept Paypal [ Yahoo ] ?

I don't believe they do.

Charley · 08-05-2006, 03:31 AM

Criminal, all these domainssites which offer less for their domains dont have PAYPAL . This is how I lose on them.

rome2ng · 08-05-2006, 03:36 AM

no push, no sale.

i won't buy from yahoo. for what i waste money on them when i can't resale it ?

stopping us from resaling is like a infringing the rights of domaineers

Charley · 08-05-2006, 10:43 AM

What is the Yahoo Link to register domains? Is it for all TLD's ?

They do if you have the paypal card. Worked for me, acts as a real debit/credit card.

How did you acquire that?

Gerrit · 08-06-2006, 09:55 AM

what is the difference between push and transfer to be precisely? (rookie question, I know)

Yahoo... on webhostingtalk.com I heard too many negative stories about the registrar service. Shame, because for email they are very good, second only to Gmail.
