    I signed up for the BETA program "consideration" like everyone else several weeks back when it was first available.

    I never recieved the BETA key in the email and assumed I wasn't accepted. Last week I got an email asking me how the program was going... I called the number and told them I hadn't recieved my BETA key. After some confusion and 5 or so phone calls I finally got the BETA key in email about 6 days later... congrats to them for following through with me :)

    After reading about the low level of ad targeting I was concerned with moving my real money sites over since they get such good CTR (over 10%) on Google. I moved several lower end sites over (about 200-300 impressions / day) that were doing about 5-10% CTR on google.

    So far after 3 days they have 0.00% CTR. This is somewhat discouraging. I have the ad targeting thing on one of the sites and it still shows vonage and other unrelated ads... and this is a credit/debt site!

    Why would yahoo possibly be doing this unrelated ad thing instead of matching google's automatic relevant ads.... :confused:

    If you don't want to loose much money, why don't you alternate between YPN and Adsense?
