    Has your avg income dropped the last 2 - 3 days?

    My YPN income has dropped a good 50% - %60 of what it usually is on a day to day basis..

    I know its in beta, but I want to know exactly how may people are experiencing this.

    There has been no change in traffic, or the amount of avg clicks.. the cpm has dropped $2 - $3 on most. :eek:

    Seems to be coming back around for me today. Still lower than normal, but much improved over the 75% drop of yesterday.

    I'm down 60% in CTR on slightly increased traffic from normal sources the past three days. Advertisers look the same. YPN just seems to hang, or miss clicks, or something, sometimes for a few days in a row. I tend to notice a lag in the reporting on days like this too. They're still sorting it all out, I guess.

    Fortunately we all have multiple baskets to put our eggs in now...

    Unfortunately something is always broke, but alas this is part of beta to work out the bugs.

    For what it's worth, I have had very good response from the YPN beta team in reporting things like this. No offers of corrections, mind you, but honest personally written admission of problems when they have occurred and the fact that they had to roll back to previous code in one instance. I try not to hound them, but in beta, it is good for them to have feedback from the field. And they do seem so favorably accept that. At least that’s been my experience.

    It does make for some painful days now and then, however, when things tank like this. It doesn’t seem to effect every publisher at the same time.

    My stats yesterday didnt updated still 5PM. I called YPN around 2PM to see what on earth was going on, since no activity was recorded... and they said that the days reporting were just far behind and not to worry about it. Same traffic as any other day, yet 90% drop in revenue and clicks :( Even today the stats are not updated and only 90% of the norm :( I'm very dissapointed. I know its BETA, but come on thats just ridiculous... I hope we see some MAJOR positive adjustments after they do this "maintenance" tonight.... of course that will never happen :(

    As the day drags on I'm also showing YPN revenues at only about 15% of a normal day (normal traffic today too). And very slow updates.

    Just mentioning this here for the sake of comparison.

    Im down about 80% - 90% from a regular day at YPN


    I know its beta, but hopefully this is just a bad week for them, and back to Monday,everything is the same.

    I've experienced nothing but normal revenue for the last 5 days. In fact 2 days ago was my 2nd highest day of the month.

    Yeah, it's like you can expect "yo-yo" to always come in on bad days saying its his best ever. Quite odd. Thinking about it will make me nuts.
