Geo-targeting Ads dropped stats?

    Hello,

    In compliance with Yahoo!'s US traffic only rule, I had a geo-targeting script made to show Yahoo! ads if and only if the visitor was from the US and Adbrite ads if they were from somewhere else.

    I had my traffic stats on Yahoo! drop by more than half yesterday, I thought Yahoo! omitted non-US stats... ? Do they still count the impressions but block the clicks, or where they tracking those clicks all along. I say this because my revenue also dropped by more than half yesterday as well.

    Do you think yesterday was just a bad day or that I have really lost these impressions/clicks?

    Your response is greatly appreciated, I will post updates when they become available.

    My revenue dropped too when I started geo-targeting. I didn't know I was getting that much international traffic/clicks. Look at it this way - better a DROP in traffic/clicks/revenue than a ban with NO traffic/clicks/revenue.
