For me its google adsense, its gives you more choices than any other advertisement services out there.

I was banned from Google Adsense, I asked Google why and they gave me no relivant information and stated I had Invalid clicks… which everything I was tracking showed all legitmate people.

So then I went to try YPN but they are still in BETA and I guess that since my sites don’t get more then 3000-5000 page views per month they never accepted me.

Just 2 days ago, signed up for MIVA monitization. It takes a few days to get relivant ads on all your pages but you get to pick the keyword you use when you set it up.

Then you also don’t have to worry about people copying you ads and placing them on there own sites, since they wont show up. Since I have an Article Site sometimes people post there Adsense Ads on my page. Which I didn’t know they could do since I have been band but it is something I have to look out for, which is quite agravating and those people should be banned from Adsense.

It depends on your budget… Majority of people use Google you can easily get some stats on which is more popular….

You may also want to try both the mediums to see which medium works for you better.

Good stuff.

I am using Adsense and my sites it seems to be most relevant except on one blog which is all over the map.

Well, haven’t got a chance to lay my hand on YPN, as residing in India, but then for us Indian Gsense is the best and i presume the only profitable option. Do we have any ???

And also, have read a lot of complaints of Yahoo showing a lot of irreverent contextual ads but people also have been bragging about the payout..

For now, Gsense rules…at least in India - Got a free 20$ adwords voucher with my monthly magazine subscription

YPN very rarely seem to be relevant to my content

Google is - even more so with added

Great topic

Google - Good relevance (although very peculiar results sometimes) but low CPC

Yahoo Publisher Network - Decent CTR but the inability to turn off sites/ sectors that are not performing for you.

Jim,

Well put by Phil…

Peter also made a valid point which I agree with but the CTR on YPN tends to be low from my experience.

You know what would be great? If either of the two would provide more info on the ads that were clicked on from my sites and the payout…. It’s great that I am making money but tell me what is working in detail so I can do more of it…

Logging into the Adsense interface reminds me of crap proposals bad seo companies use for thier clients that look like invoices.

Imagine what it would be like if Goog & YPN provided reporting like you do for your clients.
