"Relevant to what you assume will produce high CPC" I guess they are not totally oblivious to the abusers.
do you think they used that poll as a way to bust publishers? or was it completely anonymous? leme know harrison
I don't think targeting the higher paying ads makes you an abuser. If you target no relevent ads you just wont get any clicks. If you do get clicks that means the user was interested in it. If you trick users into clicking your high paying keyword then you are an abuser. Correct me if I'm wrong though?
I agree with bigrollerdave, but when everyoen starts making mesothelioma sites for example nobody makes $20/click. I always select a category that I think there are few publishers in, and that works effectivly for me, less available inventory means more money is paid to get ads displayed.
It's borderline abuse because it's constitutes bad faith use of YPN, IMO. A "good" publisher wants to get relevant ads, so as to enhance the visitor experience. Unrelated ads = ad spam = fewer clicks, and Team YPN wants your pages to get quality clicks just as much as you do. And we all know that low quality clicks don't convert. Yep. As always, IMO. PS: That poll option did make me chuckle a bit when I read it the other day.
