Tutorial by Valto http://www.erodtech.com/2006/12/24/how-do-i-make-150-a-day-with-ypn-and-adsense-tutorial/#comment-9191 Valto Thu, 15 May 2008 16:09:45 +0000 http://www.erodtech.com/2006/12/24/how-do-i-make-150-a-day-with-ypn-and-adsense-tutorial/#comment-9191 It's a well known fact that direct advertising sales generate more ad income than adwords tradedoubler. So it's just amazing to me how so many sites dont have any kind of ad rate card, ad pricing or even a advertising link for potential advertisers to contact. Also if we think about print publications, they may have rate cards but only PDF - even still today! when web is going from 2.0 to 3.0, print advertising sales are still back in 80's Still - blogs and small print publications have very good and high quality reader and pin point target groups...

]]> Comment on Homestead.com CEO says screw customers! by Mary http://www.erodtech.com/2006/12/18/homesteadcom-ceo-says-screw-customers/#comment-8570 Mary Fri, 02 Nov 2007 01:41:00 +0000 http://www.erodtech.com/2006/12/18/homesteadcom-ceo-says-screw-customers/#comment-8570 We too have experienced the "screw customer" attitude from Homestead. When we recently switched to their new site builder, Google Ad Sense reported that all 300 + pages of our site were blocked. The response from Homestead was to tell us to remove Ad Sense ads and reload all 1,200 of them on our pages! They gave no explanation why we had to do that. The html of the ads was still the same as when we downloaded it from Ad Sense. We informed Homestead that due to their inability to help us, we were moving our site elsewhere. Their reaction was to email us that it wasn't their fault Ad Sense could no longer see the ads which showed perfectly with the old site builder. When we replied that it was now a moot point, we found a new host where Google Ad Sense could again scan their ads on our pages, all they did was repeat in two more emails how it wasn't their fault. Sounds like they are just trying to cover their own behinds. Not a word that they they were sorry for all the income we lost or how much time it will take to move our site. So I truly believe that the Homestead motto is "screw the customers." We too have experienced the “screw customer” attitude from Homestead.

I have been super busy and have not been here in a while and now I am starting to catch up a bit. Wan, to answer your question I was making WAY more with YPN. Also I have several adword campaigns running and my CPC does not appear to have fluctuated since June/July however my EPC has increased especially in early September. When I select my keywords for an adwords campaign I dont go for the most expensive keywords I go for a ton of similar keywords, typos etc. Thanks for the comments everyone.
