Well I have been running YPN ads the past 3 days and the first two days were amazing and gave results that I only dreamed of up to this point. Something strange happened yesterday and I would like to know if anyone has had a similar experience with YPN. These are ficticious numbers just so I do not break the TOS. Day 1(friday): $30.00 with 30 clicks Day 2(saturday): $40.00 with 40 clicks I had much better traffic on day two with the same CTR Here comes the strange part Day 3(sunday): $10 with 10 clicks The problem is it showed $10 for my daily balance at noon. I checked my stats periodically throughout the day and it was stuck at $10 all day. I figured the stats would update overnight but to my surprise that figure stuck. I had over 1000 more impressions than I had over the previous two days. I don't know about how the ads are quality wise, I run a forum and have the ads turned off for members including myself because the CTR for members is horrible. Anybody else experience anything like this? Can I expect this to update to a higher number in the future? I just find it hard to swallow that I had this much by noon and there was not one click for the next twelve hours.
The same types of things happen on my sites. One, the PPC seems to diminish at times. Sometimes it is dramatic. Two, the payout is at one point in the morning, and doesn't seem to move much the rest of the day. Since I know most of my traffic is from the US, it makes sense for the revenue to improve dramatically as the day progresses. Yet, it gets worse! Who knows what is happening with YPN??!??
Update: My earnings did rebound yesterday and was par with earnings Friday and Saturday. My earnings for Sunday hasn't changed. I still find it hard to believe that I got zero clicks from noon til midnight....oh well. Side note: The CTR for yesterday was dismal and was only 1/3 the CTR from Saturday which by the way is dismal compared to Adsense. BETA...indeed.
Hi, If yahoo search listings send you major clicks, then you should refer this: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000213.html There was an yahoo update on sunday night. Well I have also submitted for YPN and didnt heard nothing from them. And whats the YPN email for comments. Brenda
No actually most of my traffic comes from Google listings. As I said above my traffic was actually higher on Sunday than it was on Fri or Sat but the clicks just stopped at noon PST.
