If YPN is so lousy, why is it so hard to get an account?

    I don't get it; I read in this forum and elsewhere that YPN sucks, and yet people are selling YPN invites for like $1000. I applied and didn't even get a response. What gives?

    People are trying to sell them for $1000, but how many actually get them sold? Anyway, even if they are bought by someone, likely it is a made for YPN website. One of the very few categories YPN is good for.

    Also, it is hard to get into YPN right now because they are accepting virtually no one into their program right now. Only a very very very select few are allowed in atm. As well, many of the people who buy them were once declined to join... which is why they have to buy them. Also, YPN is manys last hope of contextual advertising since being kicked out of AdSense.

    Thanks PoemofQuotes; that sheds a lot of light on my question. Incidentally, I've been reading more and more of the horror stories about people losing their AdSense rights. Any thoughts on how to avoid this problem? Thanks!!!

    I've never had problems with AdSense. I've been with them for over 3 years now and never been contacted for poor anything... so I can't really say. I have only had poor experience with Yahoo being unprofessional and pushing their problems onto the publishers.

    You never asked me , actually I trace ips that pm me and look up each account of your personal ISP then I trace the your name across a database to find out where you work how much you make.

    Then when I find your a broke ass looking for info, 90 percent of the time so far this has been the case. I ignore the pm.

    Or B rarely their is some asshole that works at yahoo that wants to see who it is.

    For certain niches YPN outpays Adsense for me still, like 2:1. But it takes work to get the right ads to show, and even then it's hit or miss on some days.

    I'll keep YPN ads on those niche sites as long as the payout stays at the current ratio. The trick is to use geotargeting to get paid for the non-US traffic with adsense...
