Share tips, etc in here I'm not going to say if I'm in this club or not but here is my tip: You can use Adsense to see which pages are getting a ton of clicks and then just put YPN on those pages. Of course this will not work on EVERY page. The reason for doing this is YPN pays MUCH more per click that Adsense.
Always try different layouts and blending options and just because one works for one type of site, doesn't mean it will work for other sites. I see so many badly optimised adsense/YPN sites that just have a banner unit at the bottom of the screen, in default colours and think that will bring in the money.
Don't use borders... color ads to blend into your background. And most importantly.. put kw's in the title/h1 that pay the best for the pages topic.
ermm my ads are really easly spoted but i still make xxx$ a day and my site looks crap, the ad place is crap, everything on my site is crap but dont know how i earn xxx a day tho.
This is best most often, but it is not true of all sites. I have a site where I nearly doubled the CTR when I added a border to the ad units. It is really best to just experiment yourself and see how your audience reacts to your layout and ad setup. Try using some tips to start out with, but then play around and optimize it until you find that works best for you.
I completely agree. Sometimes bringing attention to the ads can be a good thing. It's all about testing what works best with your site and visitors.
YPN, or Y!PN stands for the Yahoo! Publisher Network. It is a similar network to Google AdSense if you have ever heard of that.

I forgot to say since YPN only allows 100 channels, move some of the low paying pages to Adsense which allows 200 or more channels I think. (It goes without saying you should use channels to track your ads to see which ones are paying and then try to duplicate their successes on other pages.) Another way that you can use Adsense to make YPN $$$: Since YPN is not paying you to use search box, put Google Search box on one of your main pages that has Adsense. Then look to se what people are searching for in the reports. Add this content to your pages.
Here is a great example of blending Content and your ads By doing stuff like this you can get a higher conversion. Also try driving traffic to you website like using Google Groups etc. Do something good like use google to make yahoo money.
Its pretty nice, but I think the blending would be much nicer if the text were white, and the url was grey.
