But in the case of YPN, I have heard much about its deficiencies and comments that Google rankings drop when folks add YPN ads on their sites/blogs. I wonder if anyone had such experiences?

I was getting smart priced with Adsense, big time. Switched to YPN and was doing pretty good. Switched back to Adsense for a comparison, and I can see what you mean about the PPC pricing. YPN was paying out around .10 on a 468 content ad on the bottom of the content section. Adsense is paying .02 per click. Lousy! Thanks for the support and explanation about this!

Another thing that I REALLY don't understand is why they are so picky about who they approve. I applied several months ago and inserted the URL of a white-hat site that was averaging over 500 uniques a day or so at the time and they didn't approve it. I didn't hear anything from them anyway. They've been in BETA forever and a day as well. They're definitely not happy with it so far or they would be out of BETA by now and building their inventory of advertisers.
