For content rich sites the Behavioral ad is not really good. For a site that has lots of pics and no content Behavioral is a very good thing to go for.

| it was showing ads related to web designing and web hosting [something I work on and have searched for in the recent past!] |
|
I got those ads too; the key difference being, I haven't searched for similar content. I also got weight loss ads, drug addiction treatment ads, credit card ads.... For me, it seemed somewhat random.

When I first loaded the page I got nothing but ads for financial publications, which I is a rather accurate given what I usually surf the net for, but after that I started seeing ads for orthapedic surgeons and dog care (maybe its a mix of behavioral and content). It seems like the network would take some time to get a larger amount of user data to make the ads truely trageted based off of user behavior.

Are any of you folks blocking cookies? If you aren't you should be. How else would they be able to track you?

I'm going to be joining the beta soon, and i have some friends in it already. Huge sites with millions of pageviews are used to getting 5 cents a click, if you display generic ads like credit cards and get $2.00 a click CTR is a moot point.. I think the contract with yahoo expires in august so that might be when they release the adsense clone and give revenuescience the boot....

My inner voice also tells me that yahoo will start the adsense clone in August. Any thoughts?

Checked Dogster again today. The ads come up for a different type of keyword each time you refresh, but all the ads are very tight as far as being on a specific subject. I checked the source of the page to see if they were dynamically changing based on any hidden content, but no. So it must all be behind the scenes tuning. I think Yahoo will definitely have an Adsense competitor based on the groupings of ads that show up together. They are all very focused on something....keyword, behaviour, whatever.

Went to dogster.com and all I saw were Google ads. Nothing related to Yahoo. What gives?

If you have Norton Internet Security's ad blocking feature on, and possibly other ad blocking software, it blocks the Yahoo ads but not the Google ads.

Another great reason to go with YPN over AdSense.

Well from what i hear now this program is a complete failure. Of the 20 so called sites they say are running the ads i see only 2 sites. I've heard that some of the testers who dropped the ads were getting 1/8th what they were making on adsense.

Dang, that is really too bad. Look like google adsense won't have to increase publisher percentage if Y! can't get with it.

markus: were these testers being paid less than their rsi-reports indicated?
We are seeing a 2x CPM over G on gallery and other high volume pages... once there is some form of content G wins again.

I'm seeing "Ads by Yahoo!" running on my Flickr page. Doesn't Google, er, OWN Flickr?
