Well this is quite the flapping earlobe.
I just received in email the following:

Dear Publisher,
Yahoo! continuously evaluates and prioritizes our products and services, in alignment with business goals and our continued commitment to deliver the best consumer and advertiser experiences. After conducting an extensive review of the Yahoo! Publisher Network beta program, we have decided to close the program effective April 30, 2010. We expect to deliver final publisher payments for the month ending April 30, 2010 to publishers no later than May 31, 2010. All publishers eligible for 1099s for the 2010 tax year will have those mailed by January 31, 2011. Because our content will no longer be delivered to your ad unit spaces after April 30, 2010, we recommend removing all YPN ad code from your pages by that date. For the opportunity to continue earning revenue, we suggest using Chitika, a leading advertising network that syndicates Yahoo! Content Match and Sponsored Search ads. Chitika has set up a special process for YPNO beta publishers to participate in its platform. Click here for more information. We thank you for your participation in the Yahoo! Publisher Network beta. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please contact our Support Team at (866) 785-2636, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PDT. |
Sincerely,
Your Partners at Yahoo!

Does anyone besides me have 100s of domains replete with the Yahoo code?
Sigh…..
Well, at least…I DID remember to use server side includes (ie, SSI) so that replacing those 100s of sites with something else…should be relatively painless (compared to, say, a vasectomy via a rabid bunny wabbit).
And what about you?
If you have a targeted niche site, you can surf around RAPBANK and see what products offer immediate affiliate commissions (the site is FREE to join), so that is one possibility.
And of course, you can use eBay or Amazon as well.
Such a wondrous thing to come home to from my family's spring break…time will tell!
Fyi,
Barbara Ling
