    Target Category whatever your site is about. that will pay more. if you target financial services, and your site is about games/tv then it's not gona pay much.


    Thanks

    they pay less, but you get more clicks, so it evens out.

    There is no exact RPC that each category pays, RPC is determined by the keyword of that specific ad, and it will vary from day to day, and click to click.

    Try it out for few days with your traffic, and see how it works.

    IN the long term EPC will continue to fall as more publishers join YPN and advertisers lower the bids.

    The problem is content network traffic isn't converting very well for the advertiser I suspect due to poor ad targeting.

    This causes advertisers to lower the bids and as a result publishers earn less per click.

    Overture set the minumum bid to 5 cents now. It used to be 10 cents. So yea payout is gonna get worse.

    Are your sites about the internet?
    Sometimes I've found YPN overrides your picked targeting to serve what they want to serve.

    Any news on this the music and vidoes target? In the past medical conditions have paid out very well. Around a buck for months and months, but not the case since oct.
