Yahoo Publisher Ads

[hex1848]

This may be borderline for you to answer then, but do you get paid for us buying off the sites, or just on clickthroughs? I buy little online, and am not easily influenced by these types of ads, but have no problem clickin a few links a day to help the site out.

Publishers (in this case Cigarsmokers.com) do not get commission on any purchases made.

Yahoo Search Marketing is a pay-per-click system used by advertisers to pay for clicks made on keywords (it was formally Overture). Go to www.yahoo.com or www.msn.com type in a keyword "cigars" for instance. You will notice sponsored links on the top and the right of the regular results.

Yahoo Publisher Network takes these same link ads and allows content based sites (link this) to display the ads and get paid per click based on what the advertiser paid for it (it's a % of the actual price paid).

All I needed to hear.

LOL, my post said test under it and I was confused. Still playing around I see?

Yeah, I like it better on the bottom. Been clicking a few links here and there. Dont suppose you could make the links come up in a new page when you click them?

edit: I'm getting a quiet large border around them now...

Just got finished with it. It does look better at the bottom.

Good call.

It's almost been 2 months since we've had these ad's up. What are your guys thoughts so far? I've noticed relevancy has been the biggest issue most of the time.

How about placement? Can you guys think of a better place to put the ads that would make people more inclined to notice them?

I like the placement quite a bit. I think they are just fine where they are, they don't really get in the way at all.

Relevancy is an issue. For the most part, I am noticing ads that have nothing to do with the board. Especially the Embroidery (sp?) Ads!!

Yeah, I like the placement, but like said they usually dont have anything to do with anything I would be interested in.
