Yahoo is either ripping their advertisers off hardcore, or Yahoo is losing tons of money. A lot of people have been complaining about unrelevant ads showing up, as well as mine too, I am just wondering if the traffic I am delivering the advertisers is even converting for the money it seems they are paying, what do you people think about this? Or maybe I am all wrong, and this is what they should be paying, and this is how much we should be getting paid, and AdSense is just crap? Well I just don't understand how this is even helping the advertisers, it's unrelated traffic, and we are getting tremendous amounts of money from it. I feel bad for the advertisers in a way.
Don't state things you don't know anything about. I send highly targeted traffic through my ads and if they advertiser's site is done right and it converts, they're getting every pennies worth of their dollar.
How you can say unrelated traffic ?? if ad is not relvant i mean useful, a user won't click. and if subject and if matter is not useful to user, question is from where the clicks comming from ?
That's what you think... 90% of Yahoo publishers have said they display un-relevant ads, and I have seen it, vonage, mortgage, lending, etc.... I am referring to the people not displaying relevant ads, no matter if the user clicks it or not, the traffic is not targeted nor legit. I just don't see how this is even helping the advertisers, there not getting for what they paid for. It's very unlikely a user off BLAHBLAH website clicks a vonage ad is going to convert. INMO.
well obviously vonage must have the big bucks to be able to display there ad on almost everyones website in YPN , so if a user clicks on there ad while browsing my site then that is vonages fault cause they know there ad is being displayed on non-relevent websites.
Do you think Google started with millions of advertisers? It is going to take time to get off the floor. People have no patience
does reporting a site actually do anything? I mean how do they check? do they visit the site, pretend to contact the people, or just look at logs? i noticed some of the 'reported' sites that i've seen on DP still have google adsense
I heard today at the WMW conference directly from a YPN executive that Yahoo Search Marketing has over 100,000 advertisers at this point. Anyone know how many G has?
These "unrelated" ads are what Yahoo! calls Run of Network (RON) ads. RON ads can be shown on any ad, and the advertiser specifically purchases them that way. Don't worry nobody is ripping off the advertisers, they signed up to have their ads on every web page.
of course it won't - google didn't and neither will Yahoo - lets just hope they don't stoop as low as google and start giving $0.01 per click...
