Update - Compare YPN against AdSense

I have been using Google AdSense for almost one year. Now I am testing yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) beta (adsense on www.chicagotech.net and YPN on www.howtonetworking.com ). YPN is very similar to AdSense in many ways. The following are different I found.

1. YPN click rate is lower than adsense while eCPM is higher.

2. I like YPN Ad Category and Subcategory. My Adsense always focuses on remote access and VPN. With YPN, I can select what I want to. But it limits two categories for each site (I select computer hardware and security). In the first few days, I had many same ads in the same page. Then I found it was because I used the same banner in the same page. After creating the different banner (480x60 and 240x60), I have different ads and targets more ads.

3. I am little confused about YPN reports. I really like to see tracking report but can’t make it work after I deleted the first tracking name. Maybe I just need more time to learn how to use them.

4. Finally, YPN payment terms are net 45 lags behind Google.
