I don't see any posts at all about Yahoo's Publisher network. Am I the only one using it?
I am having all kinds of problems, especially their reporting suxx compared to Google. They update once a day, MAYBE, and it usually just says there has been no activity reported even though I have had thousands of visitors......
I'll probably go back to Google for that site too since I am probably loosing money using YPN....... I DO make some money on YPN but it has become a trust issue for me :mad:

because it doesn't give you any clicks.. guess not all people are interested in mortgages and Vonage, since it seems that it is the only people interested in advertising in YPN.
Yahoo REALLY need to get more advertisers, more relevant ads for the sites before they can compete with Google ads

I've found it takes a bit longer to get targeted ads on YPN than on Adsense, but once you get properly spidered the actual revenue is comparable - sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

Gehrlekrona, is your site a low or high volume site? I've had better luck with YPN on higher volume (say, 200K+ exposures/day) than on light traffic specialty sites.

I didn't want to risk anything so I didn't put YPN on any of my sites with a lot of visitors. Since it seems that they don't have a lot of advertisers yet they didn't display any relevant ads on my site(s) that I put their ads on.
I am usin it on 2 of my sites right now, http://www.pawsitesonline.co.uk and http://www.categorysearches.com but not to 100%

It's still in beta, so many people aren't using it and don't have access to use it--especially if they're outside the USA.

Just like many other forms of affiliate marketing, some programs are better suited to some sites--so YPN will do well on some sites and not very well on others.

I have certain sites where Google AdSense does very well--and other sites where it doesn't do very well. I have other sites where YPN outperforms AdSense. It really depends on many factors. So, you just have to do lots of testing.
