Hi, I just set up my ad server to use geotargeting and display yahoo ads for visitors located in the US. Can anyone living in the US do a test for me? Can you see if Yahoo Publisher ads are being displayed on this page: http://www.project4hire.com/web-development-promotion-projects.html Keep hitting reload for a few times and see if Yahoo ads show up. Thanks
ablaye, I get a yahoo ad about once every 3-4 refreshes in the header. It seems that the weight of google is set higher than yahoo. I'm in the USA. - Compu
Ok. I fixed the problem now. If anyone is interested, the fix is http://www.maxmind.com/app/phpadsnew
Ablaye, You can setup your browser with some of these public proxy servers to check if your experiment is working properly. Just pick a server in the country you are testing. http://www.publicproxyservers.com/page1.html I use firefox and it it like tools >> options >> general >> conenctions
Not sure if this helps but I've had some script running on my wordpress blog for a while that uses the IP to Country database file and some php code to display adsense to non US and yahoo to US viewers. (I also use a wordpress plugin but you don't need to if you know how to query mySQL or .csv files.) I actually just wrote about it today in tutorial format here http://www.erikvossman.com/2006/10/05/saving-your-yahoo-publisher-network-ypn-account-from-being-banned/ (sorry it's not a live link, I don't have cool person status yet) but I've been using it for a while, just too lazy to write about it. Hope that might help, it has worked about 95% of the time for me (only checked with a few international people.) Aloha
