For whatever reason, I’ve seen declining returns from Google Ad Words. My traffic has remained the same or increased, but I’m making less money. Being of the don’t-figure-it-out-if-changing-is-easier school, I wanted to get in on Yahoo’s response to Google Ad Words, the Yahoo Publisher Network.
They’re currently in beta. I was such a keener that I talked to a friend who connected me with someone inside Yahoo, who kindly got me a beta invitation. When I tried to sign up, however, I learned that the beta is only available for Americans. Bummer.
That’s fair enough, I suppose, and not unusual. Still, they’re going to have to be extra-nice to me to get my business in the future. You can’t turn away eager customers and expect them to wait around for you like puppies.

Funny thing is though if one wants something bad enough one will wait.
I wanted Google Analytics. I didn’t have an invitation code. I applied. I waited and waited and forgot about it. Then one day 4 weeks later an email came. I have been analizing weekly ever since.
Google Ad Words puzzled me. I didn’t quite “get” it so never implemented it. I hope it turns around for you or you get some really nice offer from yahoo.
I wonder if there are any beta tests open to only Canadians?
