What do you think about YPN Update on May 29th ?

Well As the topic says what do you think they should be brining as a change in their Publisher portal that will make their publishers atleast << Happy !!

 

at this point i think the only thing that will make YPn publishers happy is relevant ads.. or even semi-relevant ads

 

Are they that bad?

 

I would say 1 out of 10 times you will get an ad thats relevant to your sites content.

 

IF you're lucky.. it really depends on the subject of your site/pages.

 

I wouldn't count on that update as being anything big. But if I had my wish it would be for more relevant ads because then my click through and income would increase. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

This month I am making 1/6 of what I was making toward the end of last year...all I know is I am tired of their updating, I just want them to put the system back like it was. Everytime they change something it gets even more screwed up.

 

If this update doesn't fix things I'm dropping them for Ask.com's service.

I have already had ad targetting diabled so I'm expecting to be banned soon. I just would rather quit using them so I'm never banned and my account is intact and I never have to wait 3 months to get part of what they owe me.

That would be a serious cash flow disruption for me that I just dont need right now.

 

Ask.com has a publisher service?

I think it's kind of strange for a Tuesday update, I thought they did them mostly on Fridays.

 

i read an article about it but i cant seem to find any application or notice on their site. do you have a link George?

here is the article i found;

http://www.searchenginejournal.com/askcom-launching-contextual-advertising-network/4779/

i guess we will have to wait and see when it comes out for publishers.

 

they should just allow international members

 

They are launching publicly for publishers early next month (June 11th) from what I was told.

But if you have the traffic and you want to get in where you fit in (in case they are delayed with the launch) you'll need to call them and make your case

There are already a DP member or 2 running them if I'm not mistaken.

Dude we're gonna make so much bank

 

can u pm me the number? im already banking and ive got the traffic.

nm got it

 

They are blaming publishers for the non-relevant ads (low conversions) instead of fixing their "publisher" network.

 

So did they fix anything with the "update"?

 

Yeah they fixed me right out the door...with a pr4, 6 year old website with all organic search engine traffic.....

Stupid mustang ringtone ads on legitimate auto related pages..hell no those dont convert..

back to google...

Wonder why yahoo and google both don't seem to care enough about their publishers???...It's all about the advertisers...but without us what do they have...just search results ads...

gotta love this fickle online money game...lol

ATLEAST GIVE US A SNAPSHOT of the CONVERSION RATIOS!!!...So we know that something is broken...
