    I am sure this has already been asked but I have not been able to find it so I will ask: Why does DP use Adsense when YPN seems to pay so much better? Just curious...

    AdSense has significantly outperformed YPN in my tests.

    YPN is still in beta and only people from the USA can apply.

    YPN's ability to contextually target ads is terrible.

    You must've missed the install instructions that tell you how to use them on an arcade site with little icon images next to the malpractice lawyer ads.

    Just had a quick browse around your site and found that the main text goes under your right hand menu bar under the following url:

    http://www.internet-search-engines-faq.com/meta-tags.shtml

    I don't really know if I explained that well but anyway, thought you should know! :)

    YPN also only accepts North American clicks and foreign clicks may result in Digital Point and other webmaster accounts terminated I believe. :)

    Wow - I didn't realise that YPN had so many restrictions! That said I haven't really checked them out yet...

    Really? How can you stop people from clicking on ads though?? Do they expect you to do an IP address check for everyone and if people are not from North America, then block the ads or something?

    It is really easy to setup so YPN only displays in North America and the rest of the time display adsense. But there seems to be many reasons why DP stays with adsense.

    You have to have a script that disables their ads from showing to specific IP ranges. :)
