Well I didn't know they are paying that amount. 78.5% seems rather a lot of money to pay us when most of the other networks on the Web are paying less than that and they have not got no where near as many advertisers. Now that when Yahoo comes out and the other competitors, I was hopeing to see a hike in the amount that I would earn, but if it is already at around 78.5% then I can't see much of an increase happening to what I though it would have been. If they were paying something like 25% then an increase of 20% would have been significant, nearly double our earnings. But if it is already at 78.5% then they will not really be able to increase it to much, if not at all.
I prefer them paying me a fair amount from the beginning and not starting to pay a fair amount as soon as competition rises
I agree there, but when competition comes I have heard that many people think that they may earn more from Adsense due to them increasing their pay out percentage.
