Images under YPN ads not allowed

[Yahoo_master]

I recently heard that images under the YPN ads are not allowed. Is this right. Does anyone knows about it. ?

To help you out, here’s a little cheat sheet of what NOT to do:

1. Don’t sell beta keys in an online auction, message board or anywhere else (the opposite applies as well: don’t buy beta keys, they won’t work). We gave you that key and for you to go re-gifting it. No re-gifting!
2. Don’t put our ad code on sexually explicit sites. It’s very naughty.
3. Don’t duplicate (*cough* STEAL *cough*) content from other sites. We want to be with someone original.
4. Don’t place images next to ads. It’s dishonest and we want to be in a long term relationship with publishers everyone can trust. People will think those images have to do with the ads, and when they find that the site they’ve been directed to has nothing to do with them, they’ll be pretty miffed.
5. Don’t block the crawler. It keeps us from getting to know one another and is bad for both of us. Honestly, your blocking is not helping.
6. Don’t go nuts with the ads and place them all over every page like they’re your content or something. It looks like you are trying too hard.
7. Don’t manipulate our ad code. We’re flexible and already offer plenty of choices.
8. Don’t send us traffic from Zimbabwe or Ireland. Not that there’s anything wrong with Zimbawe or Ireland, but right now we’re just not ready to make that big, international commitment. We’re working on it, though, so be patient, and good things will come.
9. Don’t use inappropriate ad targeting. If your site is about flowers, it’s not cool to be targeting finance.

That's all I can say.

Would an advertiser like to put a relevant picture next to their ad to increase interest? Most would. The technology hasn't existed, so webmasters filled the gap. Google sees the wisdom in the strategy and works to make it an actual feature of the ads. Yahoo condemns the practice. Why? Seems to me to be a misguided attempt demonstrate to advertisers that Yahoo is doing more to fight click fraud than Google is. This is a good practise and will help Yahoo in People Trust.

in an advertisers point of view, I love YPN...becasue they are telling me that they want every click to count, not because an image next to ad misleads someone to click on my paid listing.

Publisher's won't like it, because it probably will definately reduce their CTR...hoewver there are other means in increasing CTR other than image ads.

I was also concern about this, so i ask them and they said, has long has i put a line between the images and ads that I'm fine.
