There’s one thing about an autoresponder service—relationship. Getting the contact information of your visitors, like email addresses and their names is one of the essential things you have to do to build a thriving website. Whether the site is a non-profit one trying to update its members, or an online business that is selling the solution to someone’s needs, having the name and email address of an interested party is crucial.

We can’t deny the fact that they are very popular now. Articles are a good strategy promoting products to be sold, helping in establishing a business and reaching a wider market. Articles should be full of information, easy to read and understand, and provide readers helpful information towards their topic of interest. In most cases, articles will include a link to a website, which is designed to sell products or services that relate to the article.

Usually, they are submitted to article banks, websites, directories, and sometimes used in online magazines as well. There are many uses for articles, as they are one of the effective methods for product and service promotion. Although there are many uses for articles, one of the best is with autoresponder. If you mix informational articles, like those discussing about payday loans, life insurance, or talking about alternative medicine, with an autoresponder, you will have results that you can be proud of. Autoresponders are very hot nowadays – although only a handful use them with articles.

Yahoo! Publisher Network (or YPN for short) is Yahoo’s response to Google AdSense. In effect, YPN works almost exactly like AdSense insert a piece of JavaScript code into your site pages, and then wait for the YPN bot to crawl your site and pretty soon you have contextually relevant ads being displayed on your site.

YPN is still in beta, and in terms of features, it shows as there are several features available in AdSense that seem to be missing in YPN (lesser ad format options, clunkier code generation, limited color palette options, a limit of 50 ad channels). However, YPN trumps AdSense with one feature that webmasters have been clamoring for ever since Google launched AdSense - the ability to transfer funds from YPN to Yahoo Search Marketing (YSM), provided that you use the same login/email information on both accounts. This is huge in terms of attracting webmasters, but since YSM is still a few steps behind AdWords in popularity,
Yahoo will need to do more to attract AdSense users.

My own tests coincide with what other search marketing experts have said about “Yahoo’s AdSense” results are too varied to determine which service delivers better ads or better CTR/CPM. If you want to switch over to YPN just because you want to increase your site revenues, I’d suggest that you test it out on a small section of your site first.

Both YPN and AdSense have comparable ad relevancy and average earnings per click. This means that at least for now, your choice between the two might be based on something as simple as a preference for either search engine (or if you are actively involved in PPC advertising using YSM).

eBay is a relatively secure market place. Unluckily, like most online market places, it is susceptible to scams. eBay tries to keep examples of scams occurring, but with more than 100 million fellow members, and more or less $40 million moving through the site on a daily basis, this can be a little difficult. Sometimes, scams occur.
