Well I am using them for some months, and I would recommend them because :
1) They have a great support ( they reply to all my emails even if I ask something silly)
2) They have contextual ads. You put a js in your pages, and it automatically convert the keywords to ads. This has a very good CTR
About their rates they are not standard. You can get 1 - 4 cents average per click. I know it is not so much but it is good as you can blend their ads with others in your site

Propably it is too hard to compare. Google has big CTR and high pay outs, but clicksor has contextual ads which blend to your site's content. For example if your page has somewhere the word directory, it will be automatically converted to a link to a directory page that is sponsor. I believe that clicksor is great to use with other programs.

i recently quit using clicksor in my ad rotation because they pay a small fraction of what google and yahoo does. clicksor doesnt correctly count my clicks either. if i click my ads once a day on 10 diff comps at work, all with diff ip#'s and it only counts 3 out of 10 clicks. im not sure if this is true for everyone but i believe they were screwing me so i cancelled my account and put more into google. i also dont trust them with my SS# as much as i do google & yahoo

Erm... Google adsense has these too, but I'm not too happy about the way my earnings are going with them. I just hope YPN will come out of beta and will be available internationally. Then maybe I can make some real $$$ for a change

It will be initially high till they become popular. In the end market prices will ensure that all are even, more or less. Plus YPN is paying more since it is all US traffic. Add intl traffic and rates will go down.
Publishers who join now with YPN have the most to gain.

They are good at paying but they dont have relevant ads often.

That's a really old thread. I have to say that Clicksor is one of the worst companies I ever used, because after my experiments I realized that they are cheating plus they use third party networks that you can use on your own (like searchfeed)
