The Yahoo! Publisher Network is a beta network that is very new in origin. The Yahoo! Publisher Network was launched by Yahoo! on the date August 2, 2005. The yahoo personal publisher is only available in beta and therefore is only able to accept American based publishers at the present time. The Yahoo! company is working on expanding its services so in the near future it hopes to be able to accept publishers from other countries as well.

Yahoo publisher will not always be in beta as the Yahoo Publisher Network becomes more specialized and sophisticated. The Yahoo Publisher Network makes available to individuals and businesses cost per click contextual style advertising that is very similar in nature to the program that is run by Google Adsense. Yahoo Publisher Network with the Yahoo! company uses a multitude of services and tools to help yahoo publishers and other publishers in both designing, building as well as improving upon the websites that they already have. While Google Adsense is a well-established company that brings in tremendous revenues, advertisers are switching from google adsense to yahoo publisher.
