Is YPN worth an effort?

[Grover]

I have seen some sites using YPN and I notice that the ads aren't geo targeted like google, which is fine if you have mostly US traffic. But my sites are viewed all over the world and those in other countries will only see US ads.

When I view google ads I see ads from my country

I don't use them them (they are only available for US publishers at present), I was saying that of the sites that use them, I only see US ads. So if US users have visitors from other countries, they should geotarget if that is an option.

In my logfiles, I couldn't even see all the "hits" they has supposedly sent me. I started with one of those "free $50 coupons" from GoDaddy and it cost me an arm and a leg when all was said and done.

That is too bad! I was not expecting such a bad coincidence by such a giant. Formerly there were known as Overture. How you ere able to get in YPN?

I tried it on a couple of sites, and found that Google worked better for me.

I hope YPN will do better when it would be available for all the world because it is much better to have customers all around the world. At least they shouldn't get it limited. That might be a reason for better Google Performance.

I am not a publisher, but sometimes I see a site that is using them and noticed they weren't geotargeted.

So we still have a few people on board who are YPN publishers. Anyhow someone should share the experience if he has any.
