No more manual Ad Targetting for YPN?

    I noticed today, that my earnings were crap, and then I realized that all my ads, which I had previously targeted to legal and medical ads were gone. instead, I now have a bunch of random Dell Notebook, and arcade game sites. I wonder if instead of kicking off some publishers with non-converting ads, they're just taking the non converting ads off of their sites?

    it is possible... that for low converting sites they take away your manual targeting...

    Ad targeting has been a problem since the beginning. Maybe it just finally caught up with you ;-)

    Seems weird. As of now, all of mine are still targeted.

    Every day that I wake up, I assume it's the last day I'll be using YPN.

    When ad inventory is low or can't be filled they ron RON (Run Of Network) ads in there place. These aren't targeted for relevancy. So if inventory is low your ads will be "off".

    Chances are if you are getting technology and gaming related ads now, you probably shouldnt have been running medical and legal ads in the first place... unless YPN is just really off on targeting. My Sites do not seem that effected, and are targeting pretty well.

    Oh my gosh I went from $2 to a click to less than $1 a click what the heck is going on! Targetting is being really freaky as I have some targetted to what I have set it at and some are autotargetted like normally it's insane!

    Same here, my ads aren't targetted either for some reason.
