It feels like YPN has been in beta forever now.
When will it be availble for the whole world to use??

Its not in Beta for US residents but rest of the world have to wait.
Its taking a long time, not sure why. Perhaps they dont see it to be profitble to release it worldwide?

So has anyone heard how this is going?
Are people earning alot through YPN?

I hope they give access to the rest of world soon.

Yes people are earning sometimes more than adsense.
Depends on your sites topic of course. But the potential for YPN earnings is huge.

YPN is just a competitor for adsense. we need more competitors.
Because if you get banned from adsense, what do you fall back on?

Its nice to have a back up.
