    Today I got an email from Yahoo that said "Ad Targeting is no longer available for your account". I can still login to my account and all but i just dont know why they said that.

    It is a feature that allows you to set targeted ads to display on your web page(s). For exapmple if your web page is about Music, you can choose the relevant category from the Ad Targeting Tab in your YPN Account. It will show (almost) Music related Ads to your web page. But now you are not being able to use this feature as they have disabled it. Your account is still active and you can Display Ads and earn same as before.

    Because the traffic from your site(s) isn't converting well.

    The same thing happened to me.. I used the ad-targeting to try and get ads related to my website.. of course, yahoo was unable to deliver anything even close - instead giving me RON ads that werent even in the category at all.. and then they removed that option from my account because MY traffic didnt convert well enough...

    friggin idiots at Yahoo.. I am really surprised they are even in business still..
