Quite a lot of people have posted their dissatisfaction with their Adsense earnings and have publicly stated here that as soon as the YPN Network opens they will move to it.

This is a Devil's Advocate type of question in that if many current advertisers moved to YPN, let's say 20% for argument's sake, and if Adsense were to manage to get scrapers more under control, would that actually mean for the remaining Adsense publishers an increase in EPC owing to far fewer advertising opportunities being available?

If this meant a real increase in EPC and earnings then just how many would then be willing to make that switch?

Personally I would definitely like to try YPN across one site, if I were to be accepted of course, to compare the results plus it is very easy for me to do that with CSS, however for those with only one site and having to change all the code manually it is a far greater leap of faith to jump ship.

As a publisher what do you think are the ramifications for your web site(s) with Adsense, other similar programs and the proposed YPN?
