If you need more help or have questions about current affiliate networks that can replace Google Affiliate Network, feel free to ask!

Yahoo is one of the most well known companies in the entire world.  They are often considered an internet giant.  This is because Yahoo offers a wide range of different online services. Those services include, but are not limited to, shopping, gaming, travel, music, movies, and more.  In fact, Yahoo is also well known for their creation of an online social network. That network is known as Yahoo! 360.

To sign up for Yahoo! 360, you must have a Yahoo user id and password.  If you already have a Yahoo email account or participate in another Yahoo program, you should be able to use the same information. In the event that you do not have a Yahoo user id and password, but you would like to get one, you easily can, all in a matter of minutes.  You should be able to do this from the Yahoo! 360 homepage or by visiting Yahoo’s main webpage.

Once you have a Yahoo user id, the sign up process literally takes seconds. After that, you can begin to explore the site.  To make the most out of Yahoo! 360, you are encouraged to explore the site before you begin making your own webpage.  You should read the Yahoo! 360 help page because it will provide you with steps on how to use the social networking site, including making your own profile page. You may also want to quickly examine other member pages. This will give you an idea as to what is popular and what is not.  

In addition to creating your own profile page, you can also start your own Yahoo! 360 blog.  This is a great way to start your own blog, free of charge.  You also do not have to worry about signing up with another blogging program. With Yahoo! 360 you can do everything including, meet new people, chat with them, and create your own blog, all in one place.  

As with most other online social networking websites, Yahoo! 360 allows you to meet new people.  This is done by using the numerous search features.  By searching with a keyword, such as a city, state, or hobby, you should be able to find a fairly large number of members that share the same interests with you. If you wish, you could invite them to be one of your friends.  In addition to inviting your own friends, it is likely that you will be invited as well. This is because as soon as you create your own Yahoo! 360 page, your page can be searched by other internet users.

One of the many features of Yahoo! 360 that stands apart from the rest is your homepage.  Yahoo defines your homepage as the page that you will first see when you sign into your 360 account. While the homepage itself isn’t considered unique, what you will find on it can be. Displayed on your homepage will be information on all of your online friends.  This information will list or outline changes that were made to their pages.  These updates will help to ensure that you do not miss a thing.

When it comes to Yahoo! 360 there is one thing that is important to note. This online social networking website is easier to use than most. As previously mentioned, you can be singed up for an account in as little as a few seconds. The website is easy to navigate, really easy.  You do not have to have any experience in HTML or web design to enjoy everything that Yahoo! 360 has to offer.
