    I got YPN ads up on two sites.

    Any one tried it on a message board that allready had a not so good CTR (.7%)?? I might try it there, if the content sites make more with Yahoo than with Google.

    Congratulations Nintendude. for me the big hype was the immediate earnings. I was making an average of 0$ per day with G and when I switched to yahoo I saw immediate results. Already over 120 hoping for a check mid november.

    LOL!!! Now I see what all the hype is all about!! This is nuts!!! I dumped Google on my most populated site (Message board which Advertisors hate of course.) and two content sites that don't get a lot of pageviews = Smart Pricing becomes happy = MORE earnings from Google from with 1/3rd the pageviews + Nice earnings from Yahoo = About 300-400% the earnings with a few hours in the day left (About five hours on yahoo's end.)!!!!

    On Google I've gone from eCPM $0.30 being a good day to today being over $1.00, with my pageviews being cut in half, yet making twice the earnings!!

    So, about how correct is the Daily Balance Estimate?? It looks to be twice as much as Google was before I got in YPN!

    Example (Not exact numbers.)

    Say I made on average $5.00 a day before, from Google. Today looks to be...$15.00-$20.00 total!!!!!!!

    Go away Nintendo :) {chortle}

    No matter how you play it, the net result is nice.

    Now, if only they'd let us Aussies play.. toss a coupla zeros on the end of those numbers and you'll see why I want in.

    Well done.. I like to hear what I'm missing out on ;)

    Cheers,

    JL

    I can't understand HOW it's racking in the cash on Yahoo's ads!!! The ads STINK!!!! For example, the message boards are video game boards, ie mostly teenagers. One ad is for a....Wedding Gown. And I even placed the domain under the toys category, since that was the closest it had for video games!!!! Swing set and chess are examples of game ads. Nothing related to video games!!!! But as long is it makes nice earnings, and the Daily Balance Estimate is close to correct, I won't complain!!!

    Ack..from the TOS...

    All good things must end.... Looks like every one in it *Must generate as much as possible before beta ends!!!*

    I've had YPN for about 2 weeks now. Maybe its because the ads are still new, but I'm making 2 - 3 x what I did with adsense.


    I've even seen YPN invites on eBay now.

    I'd guess they are going to pay out more (than Google) as long as they can afford to, or as long as it takes to win over as many Google publishers as possible... When they are seeing good publisher base, this will probably level out...

    I'd say their creating a buzz with high payouts right now....

    Compaired to what the site got with Google, yes. Per click earnings are WAY higher which makes up for the CRUMMY CTR and ads that have nothing to do with the site. (Are teenagers at a video game site interested in a wedding dress??!!! Okay....!!!!! And this is with the domain being listed under games!!! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG])
