I've had a quick look at the site, I'll have another look later

Same here.. got a phone call a few weeks ago...

don't forget to ask what % they are taking! this is not direct with yahoo, this company will take a cut...

paul

I now have data back from the last 5 days and the average on my test site is about £18 per day, Google Adsense average was about £8 per day, parking average about £1.30 per day

I've talked to them and they say they're after sites with traffic so if you have a group of domains that gets traffic or a site that uses Adsense and generates a bit of revenue you should get in.

If you want to know any more send me a PM and if I can help I will

Agreed it would be great to deal direct with yahoo but the U.K version isn't something I've been able to find. It's the next best thing and still it pays better than google.

So basically if yahoo can take a cut, this company can take a cut and still double your money on what Google pays, then how eff'ing much are google taking?

You're missing the point I think.

Yahoo is earning more for me because I can specify what ads are shown on any page, so the ads are 100% relevant. Plus you can include ads on the same page that are complimentary to your content.

So if you had a site about cars where you reviewed various makes etc, you could have ads on the same page about car insurance, breakdown cover, HPI checks etc.... Something you can't do with Google ads

Nope I get the point

to be honest I am using the same ads as google, google was picking up exactly the ads I wanted for my sites, and I have the same ads that appear from yahoo, looks like the exact same suppliers and the money that comes through to me is around double.

The one thing I will say is that by using a keyword, you can have 2 different types of ads on one page. Rather than Google just picking up one type of content.

Thing is that improves click throughs with yahoo is that they don't put their "yahoo" symbol anywhere on your page if you don't want. Their ads look a little more like they should be on your page.

At the end of the day we know that Google takes at least 3/4 of revenue if not up around 7/8's. Can't really get lower.

Yahoo looks miles better to me, and pays more.

The thing is with google is, you never know what terms on your page are triggering the ads. You could have a page about buying domains and google could serve ads about just 'domains' whereas with Yahoo you could force it to display ads about 'buying domains' both these terms could result in the same ads appearing on your site but the amount the advertisers have to pay for each term could vary by quite a bit so although you could be right about the percentage each company keeps/pays out there is no way of ever knowing.

spot on Paul,

I must have just been lucky with the google delivering the exact ads I'd a chose if I had the option. But sometimes it dows take the google adbot a fair old while to get round to doing it. I have been reading some stories of people never getting the ads they want on their sites.

I guess it's going to be a time will tell on this one, I wonder if google will alter it's stratergy and give more control over a single keyword generating content. Because pro's like you guys will start to jump ship if they don't.

Google already does allow keyword suggestion to some larger publishers if relevance is a struggle.
