    The last few days I'm seeing pleasure/condom ads on my Metal Detecting website :(
    I sure wish they'd let us target a certain keyword.

    Well, it's true that people put on condoms when they are getting ready to "metal detect." That doesn't make any sense, but I thought I'd say it anyway.

    Its really funny how the targeting system works sometimes. I will have sites full of subjectA and then have just one link of subject b and then the site will be full of subject b ads. You figure it would be about subject a. Hope that statement just made sense lol.

    This is 2 things you can do:

    1) Complain to Yahoo!
    2) Block the domain that is showing the ad/ads

    Hope that helps ya!

    No use complaining as they already know that their targetting is not right.
    And there's to many to block..besides I'm scared what might come up if I blocked the condom ads ;)

    Phone up the support team, there have been cases where there has been extremely off targeted ads and they can correct it behind the scenes.

    I have a site that I blocked in appropriate ads, and then nothing showed up. I unblocked some of them, because I would rather have something than nothing...blame it on yahoo
