Watch out for April Fools’ jokes.
Psst. Be careful what you read on the web today and tomorrow.
April Fools’ Day is full of bogus stories on the web. Even though it’s still March 31 in North America, many parts of the world have already started April 1. So if you’re reading a domain name article today that seems too crazy to be true, it’s probably made up.
Over the years a number of domain name forum and blog posts have taken advantage of peoples’ gullibility. Last year one such post said Domain Name Wire had been sold. Even six months later I had someone ask me what I was doing now that I sold the site. For the record, I don’t write April Fools stories on Domain Name Wire.
Of course, with all of the zany news in the domain name world today, don’t discount something you read just because it might be a joke. Especially if it’s about Sex.com: the unbelievable might just be true.

Yahoo admits defeat in syndicated pay-per-click ads.
Yahoo is shutting down its Yahoo Publisher Network effective April 30.
The program launched in summer 2005 as a challenge to Google’s popular Google Adsense program that lets any size web site publisher syndicate pay-per-click ads on their web site. The program initially received rave reviews as beta participants received high payouts. Over time, the program languished in beta. One common criticism was poor targeting, which reduced ad relevance and click-through rates.
Yahoo is suggesting that current participants join Chitika as an alternative. Chitika already syndicates Yahoo content match and sponsored search ads. However, adding another middleman into the equation could reduce revenue to publishers.
It’s possible the move comes in advance of Yahoo’s partnership with Microsoft kicking in. It’s likely that Microsoft will create its own Adsense competitor.
The termination of the Yahoo Publisher Network should not affect Yahoo domain name parking partners.
