Obviously, restrictions like this are very limiting and it's highly doubtful how others will earn from their program especially if you're catering to a worldwide audience.

And putting it in the terms of service doesn't change that fact. On the other hand, if they simply meant that for this beta period, they wish to discontinue the relationship with these publishers because the publishers' traffic doesn't fit the YPN program as it exists at this time, they should've just said that. Their own lawyers may have shot them in the foot. -TimK If they expect their publishers to identify the client’s country of origin and manage or filter YPN ads based on that, they have unreasonable expectations.

Of course, this doesn't mean that they should accept a site written entirely in a foreign language either. It is impossible for us to filter out all international traffic. I personally see a decent percentage of international traffic at my site and would be devastated if they cancelled my account. Currently I make about 5X what I was making with Adsense...this would really pinch my plans for a vaction. :( PCUnix is right – it should be their job primarily to filter out the traffic.

If they don't want non-us traffic, then THEY should identify that at their adserver and not send an ad. It's their limitation; they shouldn't push that off on the website. Huh?

I know some bloggers have been using Yahoo ads who are outside of the USA, because they have contacts within the USA who have signed up for accounts, but I cannot see how the location of a publisher/blogger would impact on advertisers, unless those advertisers are marketing local products to local people, in which case why use a global marketing tool such as yahoo/google ads? Seems to be a strange concept to want to advertise on the WWW, which in its nature is global, yet only want those in a particular area to be aware of you. This step certainly suggests that Yahoo are a lot further away from a worldwide release of the advertising network. I guess this depends on who they are targeting with their terminations.

Since they don't accept publisher outside US I again declined it, even if they accepted it I will not use it as they don't have much ad inventory at the movement. Digg.com carried out YPN for one or two days and now they are back to Google ads again. I think YPN is good for not tech sites only, IMPO.
