    For the past 4 months i had been getting around .50-.90 RPC, and all of a sudden 2 weeks ago when i added tribal fusion banner ads to my site my RPC dropped down to .05-.15......

    Weird?

    Two weeks ago was when they added their new 'smartpricing'. Many webmasters have seen drops since then, including me.

    I haven't noticed much of a change.

    I noticed a drop since a couple of days ago. Too soon to tell for sure if it is smartpricing or just another batch of badly targeted ads.

    its actually been going on for a few months thanks to their updates that make it so the ads don't display...if I was an advertiser I would pull my ads because YPN is not showing them properly.

    I have now switched all of my websites except one, over to AdSense, I am making quite a bit more again daily with AdSense then I have made with YPN in a long time. Looks like I am back with AdSense for the long haul.

    AdSense may pay less per click, (and now after ypns new system, it's not much less) but AdSense ads are a LOT more targeted, so I get a LOT more clicks with them, then I did with YPN, so AdSense is earning me more......... :)
