Has anybody tried to use other publisher services that Adsense ? Till now, I have only used Adsense, and I am planning to include other publisher networks like doubleclick, yahoo etc as well.. is anybody doing that and has experienced rise in payouts ?
Yep, YPN (yahoo) would be the best alternative as far as cost per click is concerned. I see you are in NY, you should be able to get on this program.
However, AdSense still has the biggest number of publishers, thus the biggest number of ads, and the best chance on targeted ads.
Adsense is good, i never used ypn but i used other smaller companies, they just dont have high enough customer base like the sense.
In addition to my Adsense, which does very well: I have YPn on a few pages, and although the CPC is higher the CTR is way lower because they have retarded targeting and a MUCH smaller inventory of ads. I have CJ links (mostly text, a few banners) on some pages and they also do fair. I have a direct affiliate on one page - this particular affiliate has a GIANT payout for conversions ($80 !) - but i've been blowing $$ down the toilet with Adwords for this page I have Amazon-book links on a few pages and have made about $1.50 in the last 11 months I tried AdBright, and made about $1.75 I just signed up for AdZoogle, but my account isnt active yet. YMMV
I tried smaller ones but not PYN (outside USA). The smaller ones are not comparable with Adsense.. They dont have enough ads and dont pay as much as adsense.
yea YPN would be the best alternative if you are in us and canada.but for other some affiliates programs would be great.
