No Targeting?

    I have targeting set in my account with YPN, I never changed anything in it... and now my targeting hasn't worked since the 1st of this month....
    I called YPN 2 times now and both times they have told me that it's working... That my ads are being shown contextually but if there isn't any relevant ads to show it will show the target ads... I never had this happen before... And now my revenue has dropped by 50% but my CTR rates have increased dramatically averaging from 3000-4000+ clicks a day...
    When before I was only getting like 1500 avg a day...

    I used ad targeting because I figured I would display ads that I think my users on my site would be more interested in... Now that the ads are not targeted and it's showing relevant things on the site, I REALLY do think people are getting confused and click the ads thinking they are part of the site or something...

    Anyways.. Just need to know if anyone is going through this problem and see if I could get some suggestions on what I may can do to correct it...

    I wish it was back to $3000 - $4000 a day like it use to be with a less CTR...
    I always thought ad targeting was for the publisher to target certain ads and have those ads ONLY show up on thier site... But I guess I was wrong...
