Is it true that the longer you are with YPN the more money you will get per click? I dont have it so I cant confirm that for myself but I've heard that it works that way. Can Someone answer the question? Thanks!
No! absolutely not true, one has nothing to do with the other... In fact it's closer to the opposite.
So you're saying the longer you are with them, the less money you make per click? Now that just confused me, I've heard about 10 other people say what I stated before, but I'll wait for a few more responses, Thanks!
The two are mutually exclusive, one does not affect the other. What Chili meant to say was over the length of the BETA test CPC rates have dropped significantly, it may appear as this is a result of being a publisher for a longer period of time. However these changes have nothing to do with how long you have been a member.
no, your time in the network has nothing to do with your rpc. what these 10 other people may be experiencing is this; when you first put ads up on a page or site, the ad relevancy is terrible. as time goes on, the ads may become more targetted to the content of the page. this would make it seem like you are making more money and could in fact increase your rpc as junk ads or ron ads pay practically nothing where targetted ads could be paying many times more. im sure if you asked these same people (assuming they have been in the network for more than 2 months) to compare their rpc's for this month and last month, they would be about the same, give or take a bit day to day. its also true that alot of publishers experienced dips in their rpc over time, but this is probuably due to advertisers jumping out of the content network, especially in niche sites, targetting changes, etc. not sure why you want to know if you dont have it, but there it is. jmo
Why the heck would Yahoo pay you more if you stay with them more... It's the opposite.. they pay you more at the beginning because they want to get you out of the adsense program.. and then your stuck with them...
Lol I like how you put that, like I said, I have no expe with them so I was just asking, maybe they know that since you are with them longer that you follow all the rules and etc? well I dont know, thanks for responses
After being with YPN for a few months, my RPC has dropped about 40% from about $1.00 per click to $.60 per click. As somebody else said, it's YPN slowly leaving the beta version of their program.
I only wish this was the case. I'm making less than I was a year ago although I have about three times as much traffic.
That is definately not the case, I have been with them for about a year and never seen that happen...
one persons experience cannot define the word definate, neither definately not nor definatey is. each publisher, niche, site, market etc will have its own bearings. some will go up, some will go down and the reasons for these kinds of changes are as broad as the imagination. jmo
If you took a poll of YPN users or had someone on the inside to give you the facts my guess is they have changed their payout over the past month + Possibly at the same time Panama was implemented. Or maybe the Panama release effected publishers payout. I'm sure the two are interconnected. I've seen the untargeted ads on our site remain consistant but at the same time the CPC drop 30-40%. I've done a few tests on specific pages and it confirms it for us. Your results may vary...
According to experience, they were great in the beginning of beta. now they are paying even less than before. Thus, my beginning = more per click, now = less per click. Therefore It is quite the opposite for me.
earning is not related with the time you spent on networking with ypn the rates they offer is same for everyone either you are a new member or you are using it for a long time..
I think this is what happens: Even though I think the targetting is horrible, I think Yahoo figures out what gets clicked over time and starts serving up those ads more. So yes, the longer you are with them, the more data they have about your site and the better the performance. In order for this data to have some statistical relevance, they need to count a whole bunch of clicks from your site. I see the same with Amazon Omakese (or however they are called). Over time, they figure out what people who visit your site tend to buy and they serve those ads more. Works very well for Amazon. I can't complain about the stuff they show.
