Look’s like Yahoo is giving me once again another chance to sign up for the Yahoo! Publisher Network Beta Program, but I’m afraid I’m still in the same situation as I was before, I don’t live in the United States and even though I have an overture account I can’t use it because I need a United States Social Security or Tax ID number, that of which I don’t have because I live in the United Kingdom!

I guess I shouldn’t have asked to Beta Test it when I already knew it was for the USA only, but hey if you don’t try these things out you’ll never know if you could have got in or not, I do hope they expand the Yahoo! Publisher Network Beta Program to other countries like the UK soon though!

Anyway here’s the email:

Dear Darren,

Recently we extended an invitation to you to join the exclusive beta release of our new Yahoo! Publisher Network self-serve platform, which provides small- and medium-sized web publishers with easy access to Yahoo! advertising and content.

We have not yet received your application, but we don’t want you to miss the opportunity to participate in the beta program. There are several new tools and services planned for the new Yahoo! Publisher Network self-serve platform, and when you become a member of the beta program you’ll:

• Display relevant text ads on content pages of your Web site and earn revenue from qualified clicks to your site’s featured text ads.
• Have the option of transferring your Yahoo! Publisher Network earnings to your Yahoo! Search Marketing accounts online to pay for clicks on your listings.
• Help shape what Yahoo! offers to the online web publisher community.
• Be the first to take advantage of new Yahoo! publisher tools, services and programs as they become available.

You can proceed with creating your account using the link below:

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.)

Don’t delay—your invitation will expire seven days from this reminder email. We’re looking forward to working with you to build a strong and successful community through the Yahoo! Publisher Network.

Sincerely,

The Yahoo! Publisher Network Team
