Has anyone else here tested YPN on the same site with Adsense (or rotated ads among these 2 networks)? I'm not talking about on the same page, but rather with code that shows one network or the other on any given page. Based on the new TOS it sounds like it is not allowed to do this anymore, since you can't show ads that are similar in appearance to theirs on the same site (yes site). I've rotated ads amongst ad networks in the past. And we all know that banners look like banners on all sites. How are others approaching this?
I havent tested it like that. Sometimes i run yahoo on my sites then next day i run adsense...seems like adsense always does better.
Same here. After testing, I always come back to Adsense. After 2 years in beta, YPN still cannot display relevant ads. And YPN revenue has decreased even further in the last month with their new bidding system based on ad quality.
I've had the same problem with YPN... no relevancy. That's why I have the code in place to test YPN. Every once in a while, I would go in and set a frequency of 50/50, and then run the ads for a couple days to see which CPM was better. YPN always was terrible, and when I would go to the site to make sure the ads were showing right, the YPN ads would be totally off topic.
Yep.. time after time of testing YPn i've come to the same conclusion: YPn targeting is R E T A R D E D .. and it's not because they dont have the ads to show.. I will usually start getting PERFECTLY targeted ads for an hour or two, then it gets stupid and starts showing ads that have nothing to do with the content on my pages. I've left the ads up for weeks hoping it would get better and it never does.. YPN has a long way to go before they get out of beta..
