I block YPN ads and my other ads when visiting my sites to avoid accidental clicking and wasted impressions. Can YPN detect when people have ad blocking on and can it get you banned or lower your CPM, CPC, etc...?
There is nothing wrong with blocking ads, it would increase your CTR - but I don't think Yahoo has a smart pricing so it would only make your stats look better, not increase the overall payout. The only negative I can think of is that you aren't able to see if relevant ads are still showing.
I would have to agree. From what I am seeing so far YPN is still working out alot of bugs in their system, but ad blocking will not hurt you.
