Yahoo Ads vs Google Adsense

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

I have been running Yahoo Ads and Google Adense on my blog pages for over several months now. Although I am yet to make a few cents on advertising, the reason why I keep the ads running is that I do plan to write a detailed comparison of both tools sometime in the future. Google beats all of its competitors in context search and advertising, but in my opinion Yahoo is so behind only by self responsibility. From several constructive comments I’ve made on their YPN Blog, the answers, if any, were vague and the problems persisted, with completely out of context ads.

But today I found something really fun while browsing trough one of my articles, “The World is Flat“:

Food for thought:

  • being Friedman’s book such an actual and popular topic, how can Yahoo not find any more relevant ads to publish in this page?
  • Google paying for ads in the Yahoo network? This one makes even less sense :-)
