Yahoo Bans

[DropLister]

Has anyone been banned from Yahoo yet? I know Google bans people left and right, but the only bans from yahoo of were due to non us applications, just wondering.

Guys, Google bans because people abuse the system. Google also bans because they were sued for 5Mill from an advertiser. That is why they ban.

(see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8417283/ )

Yahoo is still in its beta stages but as soon as it goes public it will ban left right and center aswell..

iNod.

Not just for YPN alone but for privileges that a non US doesn't get. i.e. Paypal acc, etc etc. I'm in Antipolo sir

lol that's what im afraid of and they don't show proof of ban for you to dispute if they decide it's ban it's ban permanent. you forgot to include top and bottom

i just removed all my ypn ads on my high international traffic sites. i need to find a geo targeting script now

geoIP for geo targetting.

Y!PN Bans
1: Adult Sites, Anything that is found upon your website(s) that is over a PG-13 rating will get you banned from the program.
2: To many clicks from outside the U.S. will get you banned.
3: Them finding out that your not living in the u.s. will get banned.

I have a website that just shows partial nudity and has a few other adult type of video's, such as a full cloth women dancing on a pole, people cussing, and a few adult type of games.

I have around $2573 total pending to be paid to me from Y!PN. When they decided that to ban me from the program because of the simi-adult site.

I took the advertisements off of that one site and left them up on the others yet due to lazyness and hoping they will take me back.

I still have access to the stats panel and my account. They just didn't verify the money the owe me. Also, noticed that the advertisements are still showing up on my website(s) and that it is still showing I am making $20 a day. Only thing is I will never get paid.

So, Y!PN takes the advertiser's money still and still display's the adverts, but refuses to pay out. WTF? Is up with that? When they ban you shouldn't they supend the adverts from displaying on your site(s).

Did they send you an e-mail saying your banned ?? Or just assuming because they aren't verifiying your owed money? Just curious.. I would think they would notify you?

Google bans first, asks questions later. And mostly doesn't even ask questions later.

Hello ,

As you may know, Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program policies prohibit the display of Yahoo! contextual ads on web pages containing adult content. During a regular review, we found that one or more your web pages were in violation of these policies.
Specifically, we found that the following URL(s) contained explicit adult content:

url removed

As a result of this violation, we?ve had to terminate your participation in the beta program.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any questions or concerns about this action, please refer to the Yahoo! Publisher Network Program Policies: https://publisher.yahoo.com/legal/prog_policy.php or contact us.


Sincerely,

Then after I have told them I removed the ad's off that site and asked if I could be reinstated.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. You can find a list of YPN polcies here: https://publisher.yahoo.com/legal/prog_policy.php

Unfortunately, we will not be able to reactivate your Yahoo! Publisher Network account during the beta period. We encourage you to consider participation again when YPN goes into general release.

Thank you for your understanding.

[reese]

if u like please leave me some rep, rating, or even NP$ :D

Update: I got the money they owed me, but still waiting for the public release to reapply.

Getting banned was the worse thing that could have happen. I was making 1000$+ on sites that now get only 30$+ on adsense. So, yeah it isn't worth being banned.
