So here's the "million dollar question": Which is better, Yahoo Publisher Network or Google AdSense?

Let me make this short and sweet .. YPN is better for well-established websites with US-based visitors, and AdSense is better for un-established

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

- or under-established - websites with a majority of visitors from outside of the US.

Allow me to explain why in more detail.

The number one reason Google's AdSense program has far outweighed Yahoo's Publisher Network is because they'

Examples of combination products may in

t this point it is only speculation whether or not either program has become ineffective or unprofitable to advertisers or publishers respectively.

Google has been able to cater to a diverse audience of independent or direct marketers with its AdWords program over

In regards to payout YPN retains generally higher CPC (Cost Per Click) than Google and thus appears more profitable to publishers. YPN also sets a minimum monthly budget for its advertises in order to create advertiser integrit

The only real noticeable difference is that AdSense seems to make a lot more sense. What I mean is AdSense will display far more releva

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

t ads in regard to the content of its pages than YPN. For a website publisher this means that the chances of a visitor clicking on an ad - and thus generating commission for the publisher - are a lot higher with AdSense.

This is what we refer to

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

s a conversion rate; the number of ad impressions made versus the number of times ads have been clicked on. The higher the conversion rate the more money you make as a publisher. So in a sense Google AdSense can more than make up for what it lacks in CPC w

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

ith what it generates in higher conversion.Both YPN and AdSense are free to join and extremely easy to implement on any website with even the most basic HTML and web-design knowledge. However, YPN requires a little more maintenance than AdSense for one very dauntin

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

reason. YPN does NOT allow publishers to display their ads to NON-US visitors, and in fact will boot you from their program for doing so, if even inadvertently. With YPN a publisher would be required to resolve to their own geo-targeting

While AdSense, on the other hand, implements geo-targeting directly and serves the ads up on your website with the visitors location already in mind. You can not be pe

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

For YPN this does not seem to cause a problem, seeing as to how their Terms of Service explicitly state that using similar or other third-party advertising is not prohibited given that YPN ads are not displayed on the
t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
same web page as ads of a competing contextual advertising program (i.e. AdSense). However, some publishers have reportedly been banned from the AdSense program for using YPN even on the same website. While this is unlikely accurat

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust
(since Google will never tell you exactly why it is you have been banned from AdSense) it may be possible, because carefully having reviewed the Terms of Service there are restrictions that seem all too vague, but considerably risky to leave unascertained. But the
y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
n again Google seems to be changing their Terms of Service for AdSense publishers constantly.

Overall, AdSense seems to be a much faster and effective method of website monetization for the average publisher as opposed to the laggy slower YPN. AdSesne will likely

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
eview your website and either approve or deny your application for a publisher account within 2 to 3 business days. YPN may take up to two full weeks. Let's not also forget that YPN has been in beta for several years now.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
