The real question seems to be why so many not hearing back and when will this beta widen or better yet end.

Jen lives in Canada, not the US.

More competition has to be good, I’m looking forward to the day that google is no longer the only search engine that most people know about.

It will be interesting to see how Yahoo will implement its system in regards to earnings disclosure etc, whether they will stick closely to the google model or diversify.

Personally I’m looking forward to the competition for Google AdSense. In the end this should be good for publishers in terms of program features and hopefully revenue.

In the end I’m hoping this competition will turn into a larger revenue share for publishers. I’m anxiously awaiting news from beta testers.

I know Yahoo is trying to place catch up to Google in the Search Engine Wars, but what happened to Yahoo being the leader? I personally love google, and all tings about them. They have a very clean design, and they have a do not evil motto. How can you not like them? I am interested in seeing how the publisher network plays out, as it could be a new revenue stream for websites, as well as affiliate publishing (if you are into that thing) I tried signing up for the beta, as I do live in the US. I will have to test it out. I guess I need to start up some more blogs, that are either pro google, or pro yahoo :-)

It’s ok Randy. Take a deep breath and walk away from the comments :-)

Seriously – I appreciate your kind words but I guess there are logistical issues with including non US residents in the beta. Whilst it might have been smarter to involve more people from different countries I guess they had to draw some lines around it somewhere which would always exclude someone.

I too look forward to the day when these lines are widened to encompass the rest of us but until then we can watch the experience of others and continue to enjoy the quality service that Google offers.

I don’t think we have to make too big a deal about this – afterall most beta tests exclude someone!

I’m really pissed about this. They could have had 5 months of free publicity through you. You should make them pay and blog about how great Adsense is harder than ever. Stuff yahoo!

They are stupid bastards for not allowing some key non US bloggers into this. I would have thought that they’d leap to have you involved Darren. What a stupid move if they are really trying to get bloggers on board with the system not to include the most high profile blogger online who is making a fortune off their main opposition through blogging.
