Recent Revenue Drop

Hello Everyone,

has anyone else been seeing a huge drop in earnings? im seeing almost 70% drop. i hope yahoo is counting all the clicks. my traffic went up and revenue droped. very weird.

thanks

 

last week my income went up a few days then bottomed out again. It's all about the ads that get displayed. Yahoo has been broken for a couple of months now. It wasn't exactly working great before then, but the payout per click was high enough to offset it.

I think most have abandoned most YPN Ads for now, but are anticipating the day when it does finally get "fixed".

 

i use to get good income from YPN now there is nothing left like 5 - 8 bucks a day i feel like adsense was better than ypn its sad that they did this but they got good database for publisher i bet

 

I am too. I now considering ads placement, I hope it can boost CPM

 

When working with both YPN and Adsense, I learned something.

The worst-paying ads for me are those with traffic coming directly from the search engines. Without fail, if they earned great initially, over time they became terrible.

It seems the best paying ads are on pages which are 1-off from the search engine, or landing, pages.

 

I used to have $65 days with YPN, now like a lot I am struggling to have days when I make over $10 from numerous websites, some sites over 7 years old with a LOT of traffic.

But then again, as I was told before, be glad I make a dollar a day, it's a dollar I wouldnt have gotten without YPN........

I tried AdSense for awhile again, and had it on most of my sites, guess what ? The $10 I struggle to get with YPN was a blessing, AdSense was a chore trying to bring in $5.00 a day....... so for now, Im still sticking to YPN. Maybe they will have a turn around to the good old days again......... one can always hope!

 

I agree bluegill....I had adsense for a while, and even my worst days with YPN are better than the best days I had with adsense.

 

as bluegill said 'one can only hope" for the earnings to go back up again. thanks for everyones input.

 

All this year my YPN revenues have been down, probably 1/3 what they were last year. Oddly although I've been taking it off some sites/pages my earnings seem to be going up a little lately. My click through rate is still much lower than it used to be and that is a direct result of ads displayed that don't match content. I'm not quitting the program but evaluating each of my sites and choosing a different income route for some.

 

I've had problems with google at times. But I convince myself it's just the niche I'm in which makes it move slower. I just can't imagine how much I would be making if I had got slightly over 30 cents / click

looks like YPN is still having an issue with serving ads on some sites...I have some of my sites that are not receiving any ads on them...I have sent an email to them for help, will let you know if anything comes back.

 

My earnings are all over the place. $9 one day ... $25 the next. It's never consistent with YPN, but overall my earnings are down a bit from last month.

 

My daily earnings and daily click through rate is still all over the place. It is very frustrating.

 

same here, was over 80/day, now struggling to make 30/day.

 

Guess what YPN updating again people we should pray that they would be applying good filters that is going to take affect soon well lets see what happens ill wait b4 doing anything to go back to YPN

 

They have until June 5th to get tehir act together then they will lose another major publisher here.

 

lol how did you come up with that date george?

 

Figured I'd give them a couple days after today's update to see what they do. After that it's Ask.com for me.

 

i couldnt find a signup form for ask.com - you got a link?

nice site btw.
