    When I checked yesterday evening I have 3 times the money they are showing me now.

    if they see a click that is bad it is OK, I have about 100 sites and they payment is filthy.

    how come the money is made 1/3 of what they were showing?

    It is not even at the end of the day - They are going out of business I guess.


    Any of has any clue when Microsfot is coming out with their ad network?

    Things like this are only done by companies before they go out of business.

    There is no other way to change the amout to 1/3 or 1/4 of what they were shoing the day before.

    These are not parking pages to claim some bots clicked the ads.

    Yhooooooooooooooooooo what is going on with you???????????????

    I contacted their support and they say their engineers are working on the issue.
    They kept my ticket open.

    If you check your monthly total on the top, it is different from the total you get by checking the daily totals for the month.

    Since they took off last month earnings you can see that difference now.

    Check and write to YPN - They did tell me lots of people have contacted them.

    It is a known issue and they are working on it.

    "Known issue"? Oh, I guess that makes it OK?
    Yahoo YPN is now hopeless.
    Yesterday, I had $7.50 at the end of the day.
    Today, that 7 dollars turned into $0.83.
    How about 1/9?

    We are being screwed. Period. Pure BS.
    I guess YPN is at the point of "Take the money and run".
    (7.5 - .83) ÷ 7.5 = 89% reduction

    Not only is their performance terrible, they steal what little amount that you do get from the clicks. They are not smart enough to serve decent ads, but they are smart enough to rob you blind. It is time to move on, after sticking with them for years. How stupid can I be?

    "Hey, this idiot is still serving our ads for free. Let's just take his money, he won't care. Look how stupid he has proven to be. He probably won't even notice."

    "Known issue"? "KNOWN ISSUE"? OF COURSE IT IS KNOWN. They are doing it on purpose. Money does not disappear BY ACCIDENT. They are TAKING IT! It is called "Theft by Algorithm".

    Neverblue has been getting some pretty good press. I guess I will try them.

    I dont even think they are THAT smart.. My biggest problem with Yahoo is that they are completely incapable of delivering a targeted ad more than twice in a row..

    I see that too.
    I will visit a page of mine, and the ads are from outer space.
    I refresh, and I get 3 ads on target.
    Refresh again, and the ads from outer space appear again.

    They HAVE the ads, but they WON'T serve them consistently.
    ESPECIALLY on the first page view, which is the ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS!

    YPN is struggling to hold on to what its got. It cannot possibly compete with the rise of new publisher networks coming up not to mention Adsense

    Do you guy notice that the YPN has had problems in the reporting system recently? It usually reports only a portion of the real traffic (may be 50-60%). Meanwhile, you will only get a portion of the revenue that you earn. For example, if the real time report shows $10 revenue, you may only get $2-$3 in the next day's final report. They explained this as a report of adjustment. But it does not make sense that the adjustment takes 70-80% off the earning. Let's screen capture your real time report at the end of the day and compare to your final report result in the following day. What do you see? Any feedback and comments?

    Okay, just got a reply from YPN customer support. They told me I only have YPN ads on 3 websites, how funny because I put YPN on 12 websites in total.

    I went back to check my daily report, and my highest traffic website I got 0 clicks.

    Basically they are saying i need to regenerate the YPN ad codes.

    That's what they told me when I saw blank ads. Then they referred me to some higher tier support, which actually helped by adding more keywords onto my domain (yes, they have to do this manually). However, I'm stilll receive 1/2 the impressions with 1.5x higher traffic. This means I'm losing 1/2 the amount of money I use to make. This has just started happening within these two weeks.

    You are correct, last night my real time reports show $12 dollars, and my daily reports shows $4.

    YPN is so messed up.

    YPN is garbage and has been garbage since about 6 months after they went into beta. It was nice to get in that initial burst, but after that its sucked
