Then after they made that major mistake they could have spent the next 3 years trying to repair their image after all the bad word of mouth they would have received by doing so (i.e. Chitika and their "curiosity click" fiasco that saw some publishers having their earnings reduced 90% in some cases, late payments, delays, etc etc...) Give Yahoo a break. The good thing for overseas publishers is that when it gets to you it'll be all working great after they used us guinea pigs in the US as test subjects, injecting us with their filthy vaccines to make sure they worked before giving it away to everyone else for free. (Hey, sounds just like our Pharmaceutical companies!)

It is just that the site owner is outside of america. I hope MSN doesn't make the same mistake.

When Yahoo! bought Overture one of the big things was that they plugged into an existing advertiser base and existing sales force both which has a world wide reach. Overture have offices in 20 countries so I can't imagine sourceing advertisers is the issue to why they're not rolling this out beyond the US of A.

Rather than launching a global product they are working in a defined area with publishers who they can pay on time and simply and with advertisers from the same area. Frustrating as it is for us non US bods - I can kind of see why they are doing it this way. Pretty sure they realise but are doing it because their infrastructure to this point is only so big.
