The times of $1 clicks are long gone.. Made a lot of money in that year Hope MS doesn’t succeed..

Wow very interesting. I hope they can figure their shit out. I would hate for something bad to happen to YSM in the process.

Actually they are still fighting a takeover from Microsoft.

I doubt it. It was in the news that the deal did not pursue.

I am also agree with Mr. impNERD here, it is true that after the first 6 months the rates are dropped and then it kept dropping over and over. So, there is no point to have YPN.

When the program started, I was receiving the famous $1 clicks, when I got kicked out (the reason, was that I was no longer needed although I was with the program for two years, even referenced on their very own blog, etc.) the click was worth $0.10. A….mazing. And I have to say, the site I was running it on is not spammy what-so-ever and has been in good standing with every publishing company since and before them. Oh well, their loss

Well I have done much better than a $100 a month and so would problogger, but the rats have been cut very sharp.

A click that was paying $1.25 last year at this time is now paying .26.

OUCH!

I was one of the initial 2,000 people accepted in to YPN. After the first 6 months the rates dropped significantly, then it kept dropping over and over. If they keep dropping the payouts, not even Problogger could make $100 per month with their service.
