    "Due to the quality of the leads generated from your sites, we have disabled the use of Ad Targeting for your account. You may continue to display contextually-matched ads that Yahoo! serves, however, the matching suggestions provided by the use of Ad Targeting will not be utilized."

    I guess this is their response to the total collapse of their system - kick my a$$. I used targeting on only a few pages, in every case, in the MOST APPROPRIATE category. When you have NO IDEA what you are doing, just blame the publisher. Great. It's All My Fault. Since I pulled all my best pages from them yesterday, this looks suspiciously like some kind of BS retaliation move. Pathetic. Lash out, when you are going down. Except, I find it hard to shed a tear. Income is WAY UP, due to switching the ads over to Adsense.

    Kinda like being banned for low CTR, which is caused by the horrible ad targeting.
    "WHAT? You can't turn sh|t into gold? What's wrong with you?"
    YPN's days are numbered. Self-imposed destruction. Too bad.

    I got an email that said the same thing, saying they will let their system do the targeting for me instead. Funny, I had the same ctr after i got it disabled as I did before, but a huge drop in revenue (used to get $600/month from them, now I get like $45/month from them).

    i got the same thing about a month ago.. they are so friggin retarded i can't even believe it.. even with Ad Targeting enabled they could not deliver a targeted ad more than 2x in a row.. I KNOW they had the ads to deliver because I would see them.. ONCE...
    Then, like you said, since THEY dont know WTF they are doing, they punish us by disabling targeting..
    I spit on YPN..
