I finally managed doing this 50% yahoo and 50% adsense ads generation on a page using rand(0,1)

check it out at <snip> (homepage)

I am using a rand(0,1) to get either 1 or 0.
If its 0 then show google ads (and adlinks)
if its 1 then show yahoo ads (no adlinks)

However it doesn't 'exactly' generate yahoo and google ads 'alternatively', but on a longer run both should be 50/50 priority. (I am trying to figure out way to replace rand by something mroe precise).

I am sad to loose adlinks impression at 50% times, I hope yahoo comes up with something like it

now need to extend this to other pages

(Probably using phpadsnew would be better option if you have only one ad unit on a page, for me its not case though)

I don't think your allowed to post your link to ur site probably should edit that out before a mod sees it. But how is it working on payoff about the same?

Wow, those Yahoo ads are really messed up. They have nothing to do with the content.

I'm finding that YPN's ad targeting is subpar, but the payout per click is much higher than AS. The result has been lower CTR (much lower) for YPN, but it's almost made up for by the higher payout per click. Slight edge still to AS - at least in terms of revenues. Looking at the user experience for my site visitors, no contest. AS wins hands down.
