    Um, Yahoo was very good at copying Google. So why would a simple 'Yahoo' word make people click the ads?!?!!

    I think I will wait a few months to see other users feedback from yahoo as I have only recently been able to receive dialogue with the adsense team who now contact me and offer help, I dont think I would risk what I have until I can see some very good qualified results from people I respect, if yahoo offered better CPC at the start there is nothing to say it would not reduce as a tool to spread good reputation at the start.

    As for CTR I guess the visitors will decide.

    Not really, on average, CTR is about 1/4 of what it is with AdSense.

    I saw some ads by Yahoooooo during the employee beta test phase, but not since it launched the official beta.

    lol do you know who jenstar is ? She is the most qualified person here to answer or testify.

    I saw her lead a panel of experts which consisted of google (adsense) and yahoo (ypn) engineers about contextual advertising. She is well respected by google and yahoo aswell as advertisers who I am sure share information with her ;)

    LMAO...

    Jen is well known in the webmaster community, I agree with Shoemoney, if she says something, you can be sure she isn't just posting nonsense...

    I had supposed CTR's would be similar and Shoemoney's result had come about because Yahoo was paying a bit more per add.

    I'd be pleased to hear Shoemoney's comments on whether he noticed a huge drop in CTR but this was compensated for by a huge increase in earnings per click, resulting in higher revenue overall. :)

    Now, having read Nintendo's link to Jensense, it looks like in her experiment YPN CTR is half Adsense's but YPN EPC is about double Adsense's. V. interesting. :)
