Almost everyone knows or has heard about adsense (google's self serve model for publishers) and not many have heard about yahoo's self serve model YPN (Yahoo publisher network) i.e http://publisher.yahoo.com. I had been wanting to try out how keyword/contextual advertising works when integrated with blogs. Does it really make any money for the publisher ??
As a result I applied for an adsense as well as a ypn a/c and thought of trying out both of them. Now I have integrated both into my homepage, I am using google ads for the front page and yahoo for each of other pages. I will probably switch them around dynamically if I can figure out the stupid javascript code to do so! Should be trivial I am just feeling lazy:) As of today google ads has made me hmm 0.35$! not bad I would say for its been on my website less than a week. Though what I don't understand is what/who clicked the ad or was it purely based on impressions!
Anyway the idea is if the ads can generate enough money to pay for this hosting I would be happy:).

I have tried unsuccessfully 2 times to get the ypn account, but have been denied both times. Did you have to do anything special, to get the ypn guys to give it to you?
