I am shocked! Yahoo publisher Network (YPN) is finally testing graphical ads. I am breaking this story and have some graphics but am heading out to the beach!!!
Out of time, but I have a YPN graphical ad that showed up on a digital camera website.
Breaking here first: YPN is testing Graphical ads.
Update:
I am told this is EXTREME Beta. Only a few publishers and a few advertisers are participating. The ad I saw which will be posted soon is as basic as they come.
It has been requested that I say nothing more at this time. Therefore the graphic won’t be coming for now.

how many years has passed since YPN was first introduced? year, two? i dont know but what i have seen on forums is that publishers were so passionate about it wanting to get into the beta, but so much time has passed and they have not improved anything, today publishers switch back on concentrate on adsense, ypn has lost the battle for sure, may be they should rebuild the product from the scratch with a better team and manager or just shut it down as they just did with podcasts.
I am one who has enjoyed a lot of success with YPN. My checks each month are quite large and continuing to grow.
Their new Quality based pricing is a joke as it doesn’t help advertisers. it only serves to make Yahoo more money. YPN actually doesn’t normally pass on the savings to the advertisers. This is money taken from bloggers or other sites with poor quality. Really Yahoo is using this to keep more of a percentage of the earnings they pass on.
Some days evidently my quality can decrease and increase quite rapidly. Yet as an advertiser I have never received discounted clicks.
