    How can you be down over 110%? You're losing money or what?

    Actually I was throwing off a frustrated number. Actually I am down by 58%, but 110% sounds better and also allows me to owe them now. Which after the last few days numbers almost feels that way.

    Please note that I emphasized the OPTION to turn off RON ads - again, i realize some people don't mind these. The URL filters don't work because if you filter one, there's always another look-alike to replace it ... and it just a PIA to do this - why make work for the publisher? BTW, a lot of this was hashed out in another DP thread. Heck, I'd just be curious how frequently YPN can't find a match - right now, I have no idea.

    Yes, I run Adsense which gives you the ability to specify your own Public Service Ad if no relevent match is found - that URL also documents how you can track how often these show up.

    These pop-up less than 1% ... and while I don't look that often, Adsense usually seems to nail the page pretty good for ad relevence that other 99%+ of the time. Yahoo does seem to be getting better and as noted earlier, their customer service seems better ... but I'm not a big-cheese premium publisher or anything.

    Today is a bit better so far, but judgement will be left out on it until noon when I have most of it in.

    I hope eveyone is also keeping track of their search engine rankings. The reduction is earnings could easily be due to a reduction in SE traffic.

    One of my biggest websites, that has been totally ignored by G00gle (G) for the last year or so (i.e. no rankings), is now ranking in the top 10 for the site's targeted keyword. I think that the latest shift in the G SERP's has affected many sites.

    As always, IMO.

    Actually strangely enough my traffic and clicks are up. Also the CPM is up from last week, but the payout is lower. As I have said though I will wait and see. This is the time of year that many business sectors slow their advertising amounts down due to constraints on their budgets from fiscal year reporting.

    I find that in general the summer is the slowest time for most of my sites, and CPC amounts tend to be lower as well during the hot months. For my web projects, both the CPC earnings and traffic are strongest between mid-September and Xmas.

    Ummmmmm ... I am NOT seeing data for February 21st - anyone else seeing this? I.e. I'm seeing a current total for today (22nd) and there is data for previous days up to the 20th ... but then nothing listed for the 21st.

    Yea this seems to happen quite often in their system. It will show though. Sometimes takes quite a few hours, but will show.

    wow its strange how diffrent sites have diffrent levels going on. Maybe its being work on by sectors. I am now at half of what i normal do on a regular day. I am on my way to best day i ever had so far and my stats are up to 8.30am so far. I know i have a few new sites up now, but my cpc payments are back up to par. I will just say i am in the medical field.

    BTW, still no data from Feb 21st (yesterday) in the reporting area as of "11:45 AM PST" - I'd say this is pretty strange and something broke.

    Ads/$$$ are still showing up, but curious what YahooSarah would say about this.
