    I use to make $200 a day and this month i made like 50 a day. This is very depressing, i know there are many in my situation, probably not has bad has me, but in the same situation. I hope August could be a great month for all of us.

    Tis probably the landing page algo that they came out with earlier this month. Also I have seen drops in traffic this month. I am hoping to see an increase next month.

    MFAs used to profit on the low costs of advertising. Since the cost has gone up, they have to stop their campaigns.

    I'm in the same boat. For quite some time I was averaging $15+/click. For the last 2 months it's been less than $5/click. :mad:

    I still make enough to lay around all day.. but if they continue downwards I'm going to have to actually start doing some work again :p

    Actually if you want to get technical, my entire second month's average per click was over $18.00

    I've known how to target the highest paying ads for quite some time ;)

    I can believe 15$+ click, but when was that you getting it? Recent Months?

    I am not sure, but I think I had 25$/click during very early days of YPN, not anymore. Now its less than 1$

    Yo-Yo: Could you tell till when you were getting so high $/click?

    Please, try not to make claims you can't possibly back up. It makes you look like a fool ;)

    Who do you think owns overture?

    I really don't care what you believe to be honest, but don't call me a liar. Just because you're unable to pull $18+ clicks doesn't mean it's not possible, it just means you don't know how ;)

    I know yahoo owns overture... I have tested out every ad targetting category in YPN, and none pay that high... I know that the most of the high paying campaigns, advertisers only use yahoo's search...

    I don't use category targetting, it's worthless. And I'm pretty sure advertisers don't have the option to only advertise on Yahoo's search. So once again... you're wrong.
