I had hi hopes that September was going to be a better month and everything was going to be back to normal, but i was wrong. I'm still getting low clicks. I guess YPN did some kind of smart pricing and affected lots of us.
You need to be more patient! It's Labor Day weekend and many people are away from their computers... My RPC has been increasing since August and continues to do so... but I have seen a drop in traffic this weekend. I expect this Fall to be great!
My RPC has doubled on first of September compared to 31st of August, $1.70 RPC. Just wait a few more weeks.
No its related to Internet/Technology. September 2nd was $1.22 RPC average, nto as high as 09-01-06 but still above average.
So far I am seeing the exact same thing as August 17+ Horrible! Still struggling to make $5.00+ days from 5 sites - Before Aug 17 I averaged $20+ some days as high as $60.00 - still hoping for a miracle, but it's looking doubtful. It was as if someone turned a switch off in Aug - maybe it will be turned back on soon.
Perhaps some of you should go back to google and betreated with 2 cent clicks for a while. Then you can come back to YPN and be greatful Honestly I used to get less than 5 bucks for 100 clicks from google. I'll never let that happen again.
I get a lot of 9 cent clicks with ypn, but googles relevant ads may make more in the long run, even with their 3 cent clicks. So yes, I am heading back to AdSense on the 15th with all sites, unless YPN changes a lot
You have one (site) niche like mine what is your average RPC for it? Mine is .77 cents. I did make one big improvement move the other day. I removed the ads from my forum and now just display them on my homepage. Here's what happened: My impressions were cut in half My RPC went way up and my CTR went from 0.3% (Avg) to 1.7 % Today My highest If you can cut down on wasted impressions do it. So I'm getting a few less clicks but I'm making more dough now with higher CTR & RPC
This is a good find gregtq. This means that if people get higher CTR its going to result in bigger RPC.
Thats merely a coincidence, or the fact that you have higher paying ads appear on your home page. Did the revenue actually increase?
I have 5 different sites and niches - all sites combined average $5.00 a day total earnings with ypn. Average RPC is 19 cents Niches are: software - fishing - cryptozoology - dogs & cats - flea info
