    I am no longer receiving targeted ads in YPN. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I think it's been a problem for a while now.

    Does anyone have any details on the YPN targeted ads problem?

    Dude, this is a old tired story. Just reread some of the past threads here. Basically these days the ads will be targeted and then suddley they will go out of wack for some reason. This is one of there major flaws right now. You can try the targeting feature or blocking ads. See if that helps

    I think we all (YPN users) experience this. I recently took their survey and, every chance I had to comment in the "optional" comment boxes, I complained about surfer user experience in relation to non-targeted ads being served. Hopefully, they fix that bug.....only time will tell.

    But once they do, CPC will probably go down. I'd still rather serve relevant ads, but will not switch to adsense because YPN really does pay that much better.

    Just my 2 cents,

    Ditto, people are on a page to learn/read/enjpy something related to that page... That is why they are there! If I'm looking up rare collector items I am searching for, why would I suddenly feel the need to refinance my mortage?

    This has been a problem with YPN from the first day. I've complained, many others have complained, and it never gets any better. Because they currently pay better than Google, I occasionally go back and try them on my site, but I always switch back to Google after losing money to low CTR.
