Ypn Ctr

[Sergio]

Does anyone have a 1% ctr or higher using YPN on a MySpace site? If so, then please share your site, you can PM me if you like. Share some tips as well.

The reason is because I have a site that's making decent money, but I want to redesign it completely, I just don't want my ctr to go down though. But I really want to redesign it, I made it almost a year ago back when I still used tables and other crappy coding.

My sites average 1 - 2% with YPN before my account got closed "due to low quality traffic"

That's stupid. Almost all sites give low quality traffic, since the ads are irrelevant most of the time.

I hope I'm not banned, this is basically my future. This will pay for college next year, my new wardrobe next month, as well my new drum set. :P

So are the sites in your sig the ones that had a 1-2% ctr? Just wondering. I'm just going to 'risk it' and redesign it anyways, regardless of whether my ctr drops or not, hopefully it goes up though (currently a horrible .6%)

No I sold off the sites I had when I was using YPN for $$$

We use YPN as our last level of defaults on MySpace sites. It performs TERRIBLY--0.01% CTR. Their CPC is high but they are totally irrelevant to the MySpace demographic. On the rare occasions when I see their ads, they are for Mortgage Refinancing, Debt Consolidation, and other finance-related niches. I am category targetting "web communities" and still get these rediculous ads.

I almost feel bad using them at all because the advertisers get no value from them. How many 20 year olds have 70's era mortgages at 10+%? It is just absurd.

Yea I was using both content targeting and the "graphics" category and got nothing but finance and real estate related ads.......then YPN closed my account for low quality traffic just cause there software is to dumb to serve the right ads even when you tell it what kind to serve.......

.6% is well above average... even for non-myspace sites
