Rich Media Vendors/Third Party Servers
At present time most of the rich media run on Yahoo!7 properties is run through Eyeblaster and their approved products are well tested on our network. Yahoo! has relationships with many excellent Rich Media vendors world-wide, and we will attempt to accommodate any need your campaign has. If you would like to use another vendor, please talk with your Account Manager to arrange testing and ensure your campaign is handled appropriately. Rich Media run on the Yahoo!7 homepage cannot be third party hosted.
