Trying out Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) RSS ads
December 7, 2005
Sorry in advance if my feed goes whack over the next few hours; I’ve just added the YPN JavaScript snippet in my feed generating php code.
Anyone else try YPN RSS ads with any success?
plaxoed!

All I can say is that Vonage must be paying a *BUTTLOAD* to Yahoo. Yours is the third RSS feed I’ve seen with a Vonage ad.
And so far, the NON-RSS (regular Web) ads I’ve gotten on my blog are 50% Vonage ads. A detailed blog entry about a theatre performance? Vonage. A review of Song Airlines? Vonage.
If this keeps up… even if I make a bunch of money… I’ll be frankly embarrassed to put this in my RSS feeds or keep on my site. What part of “contextual” does Yahoo not understand? 😛
I’m hoping Microsoft’s entrance into this market will truly shake things up a bit. Right now, with the possible exception of Y! giving publishers more money, they’re simply not posing a credible threat to AdSense.

Almost nonexistant revenue. The nature of RSS, no one clicks ads. The only reason I leave it on is to see if something changes.
