well I think the time of money pouring in is over for me. the past 5 days day have been total crap. When I came to YPN I began to bring in a good $25-68/day which was amazing since the highest adsense had ever givin me was $18 one day like a year ago. I actualy thought I was gonna start getting rich, I guess thats not the case anymore since my daily earnings have been about $2.50 the past week, which is pathedic. Atleast I can go over to adsense and bring in atleast $10 day which is better then $2. It was fun while it lasted.... anyone else getting shanked ?
That is so strange, I have noticed mine is earning better all the time so far with YPN. When I started, for a week or so mine was making hardly nothing, but then it started going up, now mine seems to be making more and more every day. And on the rare days that don't make a LOT, it still makes quite a bit more than I ever did with adsense and their 'smart pricing' curse. So far I am very happy with YPN, and I am liking it better every day.
You should try split testing adsense and YPN using phpAdsNew. That way you can have both. Check out: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002498.html
I am making a small attempt to jump back on ship. I got in quite a while back, and didnt leave the ads up very long. I am trying it now again, as of yesterday evening, on two pages (heaviest traveled pages outside my forum) results for yesterday was 1100 impressions, 0 clicks. That was without ad targeting. I have a fantasy football site, and the closest ad target I can get is sporting goods, so I will try that and see what happens.
Maybe what is making my sites work so good with YPN is having numerous sites then, since the ad relevancy is still pretty low on some sites. I have 12 blogs covering different subjects, and many more (LOT) of small business type web sites, so I am bound to have a lot that are highly targeted even with YPN. I add new blogs and sites all the time, and even with 12 blogs, I post and ping to each at least once daily. But I also live alone and don't have someone nagging at me to go places, or telling me to do this or that, so a lot of time on the net is something I have.......
what do you ecatly mean by pinging? I know what you mean about people bugging , my girlfriend complains cause I spend alot of time on the computer. but then I tell her " yea.... I should have a good $xxx.00 check coming this month from yahoo" then she is like "awesome!! you should make some more sites!!" lol sometimes i just dont understand women..
-------------------------------------------------------- A ping (pinging) service is a site that is set up for you to enter your blogs name and url, then you just click to submit it to numerous sites that accept new blog posts. I find that by pinging it gets my blogs listed the same days on sites such as msn and yahoo. Here is one blog pinging service for you to see: http://pingomatic.com
Probably not since they are in the same places, the same sizes and look just like adsense ads I have always had on them sites, I just turned them into ypn ads. My ads have actualy a lot less ctr then they did with AdSense due to so many non relevant ads with YPN, but the EPC is much higher with YPN than AdSense, making my total earnings 4X or more with YPN than what I made with AdSense.
The issue I have with YPN is that there seem to be limited ads. No matter what site I put it on I get the same credit card and vonage ads. Anyones else have this issue?
If I look at monthly trends, rather than day-to-day amounts, I am earning more with YPN than I ever earned with Adsense. Of course, it might have something to do with those $13+ clicks I see from time to time. I have a few small sites that have such great ad targeting using Adsense that I am afraid to bring them over, but in general I am pleased with switching over has done for my earnings.
