I got this email today!

Dear Darren,

Thank you for applying to participate in the Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program. We’re excited to let you know that your application has been accepted and you can now proceed with creating your account using the link below:

[Link removed] 

This link is your unique access key. It is non-transferable and may be used to create one account only. (Please note that during the beta period, Yahoo! is only able to serve or accept U.S.-based publishers with a valid Social Security or Tax ID number, and with web site content that is predominantly in English and targeted at a U.S. user base.) 

The new Yahoo! Publisher Network self-serve platform:

• Is being developed in response to demand from publishers like you.
• Will enable publishers to take advantage of the products and services that appear on Yahoo!.
• Is designed to provide online publishers all the content, tools and services they need to maximize the value of their sites—for both publishers and users.

By participating in the beta program, you’ll be among the first to test a new platform that enables you to publish text-based ads on your Web site and take advantage of new Yahoo! Publisher Network tools and services as they become available.

If you have any questions during the set-up process, please call our Support Team at (866) 785-2636, Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST, and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. PST.

We firmly believe that collaboration drives innovation, so we welcome your honest, ongoing feedback.

Sincerely,

Will Johnson
General Manager
Yahoo! Publisher Network

Great I thought, just one problem though and that is that I don’t live in the United States! 🙁
