Submit Your Articles – Get More Web Traffic
Everyone knows that Yahoo Publisher Network pays more than Google Adsense. If you make the switch, you won’t even get 10% of the number of clicks you were getting, but the payout per click will increase 10-20x. It’s quite impressive. However, there is still one thing that boggles my mind with Yahoo.
With Pimp Myspace in January using Adsense I made $125 for the month. Since making the switch to YPN I’ve made $375, and thats in just under 30 days. Sure my traffic has increased maybe an average of 200 uniques/day, but that doesn’t coe anywhere close to making up for such a huge increase. Yahoo pays more.
I’ve very happy with YPN, except for one thing. The earnings fluctuate way too much. Google was easy. I earned about the same thing everyday. Yahoo on the otherhand is like a schizo. 15 on Friday made me $8.43. 16 clicks on Saturday made me $20.34. What’s up with that? 1 extra click on Saturday increased my earnings by $12.00? I know some ads pay more than others, but that’s just weird.
And it happens to me all the time. Thingsalways have a way of averagine out though. I’ll make $14-15 a day usually, but every once in awhile I’ll get those weird days over $7 or $8 and then like $21 or $22.
I might play with my ad targeting to see if that changes anything

1If Yahoo’s so much better then why are big publishers still using AdSense? Does Google give these guys a special deal?

2Ryan – I wouldn’t be surprised if Google gives big publishers special deals. Another reason could be because of international traffic. YPN won’t pay you for clicks coming from anyone outside of the US or CA. So you can potentially lose out on a lot of money if your site gets international traffic.

3That would make sense on your MySpace site. I bet a majority of the traffic is from US kiddies!

4Correct. I hardly get any foreign traffic.

5Interesting read, I sometimes get similar results. I just posted a similar article comparing Adsense and YPN on my blog. Let me know what you think, http://jakowenko.com/google-adsense-vs-yahoo-publisher/
Thanks.
