Yahoo! Takes On AdSense, Launches Publisher Network

Of interest, Yahoo seems to have learned from watching Google AdSense. They are rolling out their program with the upgraded features that Google recently added. Yahoo will allow publishers to choose the appearance and placement of ads to more closely match the look of a site.
