    You're not the only one. CPC has gone down for the exact same ads, bidding the exact same on OBT. :(

    I guess we knew this was going to happen, right?

    It just sucks that it really is. Yahoo will feel it in a couple of months if they don't make some changes.

    I guess I have the only bright note. This weekend and today are doing well for me. However, last weekend and during the week sucked hard.

    Seeing the opposite here. Yesterday was close to highest ever, and today by noon was almost equal to yesterday.

    Same here! i am on my way to making double what i make in a day today. By 12:00 am today i made a normal days pay. There must be some various reasons why others are doing great and others not. I would cheak my topics and compare them to ad bids placed on them. I really dont think its Yahoo but maybe your sector.:confused: Even though i am doing great i still would like to know why the various numbers being said.

    I'll guess the MySpace/Directory sectors are seeing/will see declines.

    This is why you can't sell a 2 month old site for $45,000 based on YPN earnings :D
