For our advertisers

The way our audience are using the web and mobile devices is changing and it’s critical that we continue to innovate to meet their needs. We’ve been undertaking research for some time, including focus groups, usability testing, heat map analysis, analysis of current user behaviour trends and global best practices, to deliver a new homepage that meets our users’ and advertisers’ needs.

For our advertisers, the new design has been created to remove clutter, and ensure our audience engages with all parts of the homepage. The advertising positions have been strategically placed among the editorial to reduce right rail blindness, with a mix of content including a balance of text, video and pictures.

We’re excited to allow you to explore the new features below, and experience the new homepage ahead of general availability in mid-October.

More reason to scroll

You may notice that the new homepage is longer. That’s because we’re offering you more great content from across our network, giving you even more reasons to visit Yahoo!7.

Mail preview

Our new mail preview lets you take a peek at your inbox without leaving the homepage. That way, you can quickly see your emails before watching the day’s must-see video, checking the sport scores, reading the news, or simply enjoying the rest of the content within our network.

Weather

Get instant access to the day’s forecast for your location and find out if you need a sunhat or an umbrella; for the full weekly forecast, simply hover over the weather section.

Need to check the weather in another city, town or even suburb? Easy. Simply change your location to get all the details you need.
