Got my first google adsense check

being a new service, yahoo ads WILL pay more, just to attract customers.In every industry the newcomer will pay more until he has a number of clients, then he'll pay as good as the older ones.
As for the first check from google...I didn't rushed to cash it, and when I finally did the check expired(make sure you cash it in max 6 months)

That's true, I don't think this $1 - $5 click will be there much longer. When the number of publishers stars to go up they will lower the price of the click.

Another possibility: adsense stars to pay more and they began a "war" between them (to see who pays more) - lol, that would be fun... people jumping every day...
