Site owners that make use of the Yahoo Publisher's Network will be pleased to note some new additions to the YPN control panel. With much of the new content focused on guiding YPN partners through the ins and outs of the network via a brand new help center, there's been some speculation over whether this might signal an end to the beta stage of the Yahoo Publisher's Network.

The new Help Center features the following:

A How-To Guide
Detailed instructions on how to use each area of the Yahoo! Publisher Network account management system

Account FAQs
A comprehensive set of FAQs that addresses most publisher questions

Account Overview Demo
A step-by-step guide that takes you through the most prominent features of the Yahoo! Publisher Network account management system

Implementation Guide
Detailed assistance to help publishers set up and manage their Yahoo! Publisher Network account

Another major change is the switch of the "Content" tab to a new "Publisher Services" tab that includes a new account interface for all Yahoo! tools and services. The tab will feature content and services designed to help partners build, enhance and market their sites. In other words...if you're looking to use Yahoo!'s web building and hosting services, or their paid search advertising options, Yahoo will be more than happy to help you set things up.
