Why would I ever want a network partner??

now getting closer to $12 / 1000 would be better provided the network % wasn't too much. I suppose the next question would be "how" click bomb protection is implemented. I seriously doubt that it's a case of Google saying .. hmmm they look like they have some fraudulent activity going on but they belong to a network so we'll just void that out. Could it be the network simply monitors for potential activity then takes the appropriate measures, blocking the IP site in adsense and submitting the proper forms that adsense recommends all partners do? I would want to know exactly how the % was justified.

Most people with good networks will be earning at least the same as they were with Youtube, typically higher if they negotiate themselves a decent contract. Also protection from click bombing as others have said, some networks will also offer promotions to give you a really high CPM for advertising something for them. Many new people that partner with youtube now do not receive CPM advertising and just get given per click ad's , so for people like this getting a network can often greatly increase there earnings.
 
I can't post links .. but I came across a lot of good info on click bomb protection in the Google Product Forums. There seems to be 2 types of info there ... People complaining who seem to have gotten banned which occurred several weeks after the bombing and then started trying to do something but Google ignored them and then those who monitored their activity once a day and took the Google recommended steps which took care of the problem within 24-48 hours.

Also Darren over at ProBlogger has some articles on it ... which his site is a great learning source for all blogging, marketing, etc so anybody who wants to learn more about promoting and such check that out.

So Im just really struggling here to see why it's such a big deal to join a network. There has to be something I'm missing. If they don't give you anything that would mean the driving factor was money. or maybe the adsense placement for the general vlogger is less than $2 and I just happen to be in a higher priced category? If there's a potential advantage to a network I'd be interested in knowing exactly what it is.

If anything goes wrong you have real people that will deal with your problems. With adsense you will be lucky if Google doesn't delete you.

Network I'm with does small things. Featured on their channels. Added to playlists. Shared videos. That helps with SEO.
 
Thanks for all the great info people. I was wondering the same thing since my small new-ish channel was approached by a partnership network. While having a banner would be great for my branding, with the new layout coming out soon I don't think that's so exclusive anymore.

I guess the support and help with promotion would be nice.

For some reason I had custom thumb nails and banners before I even joined Creator X. I mainly thought Creator X would have different ads, promote content, or give extra features. I'm not sure exactly what extra features I got because I seemed to already have them while I was with AdSense. Fullscreen and Creator X do have Gorilla campaigns which generally pay pretty well, but you usually have to advertise something before one of your videos.
 
Click bombing does not happen to everyone Randy. Keep that in mind and do not get scared by it. There are millions of partners right now just fine with monetizing their content and joining a Network does not always mean you will be earning more than with YT directly.
I have never had any problems with Adsense since 2010

Joining a Network for additional features is also a dumb idea

youtube.com/yt/creators/join-mcn.html has a lot of useful info to ask the Network

Agreed make the people realize this and hopefully it can stay in there brains i wanted a network with actual support and on top of that i just found out i have my own partner manager:)
 
As for me, Im still negotiating a contract that will suit my needs...but at this point, other than protection from click bombing..im not sure what other features would actually excite me to join a network..custom banners now are void because we will all be switching over to one channel design soon and custom thumbnails are provided when you monetize with adsense. I wouldnt say in particular that you earn more with a network unless you negotiate a good contract..with that said, a good contract is only negotiable if you have a certain amount of views which puts you in a position to actually negotiate.

A plus with joining a network though especially with fullscreen, you get a a huge audio library and support from partner managers. Other than that..I hardly think its anything to shout about. >.<
