[...] The payout on Y!PN is far superior as dicussed in this Sitepoint article Introducting Yahoo! Publisher Network. I can confirm after looking at my Y!PN logs as well. I already made more than I did in a year when compared to Google Adsense. So what is the big deal? They’re cheating me. And hey, I don’t want to greedy, but I put a lot of work into blog… just ask my wife. The fact of the matter is, some of us aren’t the touring type and get paid to speak at conferences or do featured podcasts. The alternative? Relevant Ads. They’re simple to set up and they’ve become the model for entrepeneuring bloggers seeking to get something back without bothering their readers. [...]

Very good article.. Im not to familiar with Adsense concept so this cleared up alot of questions..

Thanx

Glad to know that YPN exists now. As said before, competition is good.

I think that it is reasonable to simultaneously test both networks on the same page and gather results (for instance, visitor #1 sees AdSense, visitor # 2 sees YPN, # 3 sees AdSense, etc..). This way each of us could gather income stats and determine which network pays more in his particular case. Dunno if it is possible and doesn’t violate the networks rules… Maybe someone can shed some light on this?

Also I guess the next turn is for Microsoft.
I can’t wait to see ads arising here and there all over my work pc.

I am just about ready to add Advertising to my site so I was very interested to read this strategies blog about YPN. I will probably start with Google as I want the ads to be targeted. When Yahoo get their act together then I may consider switching.

Some do, but I considered the reality of people clicking through to make a purchase is probably alot less than when people arrive to the site intending to chat.

There’s a bit of a flip-side to this of course…
Making more money from the adverts isnt necessarily a good thing, as I have to understand that when they click the adverts, they’re actually bored with my site and want to leave.

So i’m left wondering how I hint to google that my site is about ‘webcam chatrooms’ and not ‘buy a webcam’

None of your visitors/users need to purchase a webcam?

If your reports show that the click through on the webcam ads are negligable then you could always filter them out

Google’s unpublished private feature called Google Hints works far better.

I am just glad to see another company get into the ad network business. It would be awesome if Yahoo and Google get into a price war. Competition is good!
