    That is so ridiculious, I mean Google charges a minimum of .05 a click so why do they give me less than a penny for each one? Greedy is what I think.

    Surely they have to be some invalid clicks then? I would think all clicks should pay even if it's just $0.01 unless they are invalid in which case it's returned to the advertiser?

    Google takes like 75% of the profit from clicks, thats why they are so rich lol, but wow lol, more clicks than the pennies you make, sad really

    any news when ypn's going international? personally i think we're about 12 months away atleast. maybe its not a priority for yahoo, who knows they might decide along the way the trouble of adding millions of small publishers worldwide wont be worth it in the long run.

    7 clicks for .06 is better than 7 clicks for .00 isn't it? Yeah?



    Though I did get .06 for a click earlier.

    I have quite a few sites doing 1cent clicks all the time. It will be like 100 clicks for 1$. I almost feel ripped off lol. I guess money is money no matter how bad it is.

    YPN is not the solution. I have a site that gets way more traffic than the one with Adsense on. It runs YPN and it rarely gets clicked, because no matter what I do it shows refinance and mortgage ads. YPN has gone down the drain.
    I would gladly exchange it for Adsense, but due to smartpricing I make less with Adsense on both sites than having Adsense only on one. Go figure.

    i don't know, i always hear about ypn being better than adsense. and less strict, that's really important. we won't have to fear about getting banned all the time

    Why does everyone immediately assume that some were invalid clicks. It is definitely possible to get less than a cent for one click. Just because you may not have experienced it before does not make it impossible to happen.

    Remove the ads from your site. A visitor is worth more than $0.01.
    You could try affiliate marketing instead.
