Ads are not available in the BOSS xml at this time. You can apply for a YSM account and use the javascript based ads. That is what I do at http://insiderfood.com
I used to wonder why it was so difficult to include ads until someone pointed out the super flexibility of BOSS. How can they sell ads to advertisers when they have no idea what your page is going to look like, how you rerank information, or add additional sources. It's much easier with the Google API where you are limited to how your page will look.
So it is taking longer to get this sorted out. I would love to ditch the js version for the xml version but its not there yet.

Why can nobody help me? I just want to know where I get the yahoo ads. Its works on www.yougoo.fr. Is that top secret?
Thank you for your answer. The site, which I have mentioned above, uses no yahoo
javascript ads. I think, there is a top secret API for selected customers.
