Consistence and predictability Adsense is SO predictable and you can guess how much u'll make @ the end of the month. On the other hand you don't even know how the day will end with YPN let alone the long forecast.
andy may be you participate in another adsense - may be regional ads only may be on another planet but for me since long time the only persistent part of adsense is that it never is predictable nor perstent at all each day each week each weekend each weekday each months is different from anything ever before even the hours of each new day differ adsense almost is like playing at casino - the house always wins - all others sometimes win - sometimes lose if i get 4 digits $ / month then only because of high and increasing traffic ups and downs for no reason eCPM like a tidal wave + 100% or 50% down $ like the sunshine in rainy season but i look at adsense as tipping for me and i never depend on adsense $ hence all fine anyway with or without adsense
lol! I run adsense only on one forum but their payout has been the same. Now and b4 YPN, I always knew what to expect from Adsense every month. YPN is like a rollercoaster comparing to Adsense.
Overall, YPN is best. You get CPC more in YPN. If you can modify the content to get relavent ads ( that also improves page ranking), you earn lot with YPN.
How is Yahoo going with relevancy? Do you think they will roll out to the international market anytime soon?
Agreed. Just hang out in the AS compliance forum here at DP for a while. It's sickening how many (previously!) gung-ho, AS evangelists have been banned.
I do tend to agree with the OP. AdSense does seem more predictable than YPN. It's not completely predictable, but compared to YPN it is. YPN is always like a leap of faith for me. Some days are so bad I'm tempted to yank it, but then the next day will be great and I want to switch everything to YPN.
