Targeting seems odd

    Hey all,

    I switched targeting and for some reason I get ads that are unrelated to the targeted category. Does Yahoo take a bit (few days) to get all sorted out?

    Yesterday I had dating ads, now I have loan ads and I am not targeting dating or loans. What is going on?

    All seems to be well now. I think it may just take Yahoo a while to apply the targeting. And besides I think them dating ads paid very well lol so I am not mad about a Yahoo issue this time hehe.

    Yeah even I have the same problem, yesterday I used to get ads for car windsheild and mattress ads, which is not at all relavent to a software site...:( ...it is realy bad now...i think there are not many advertisers with YPN so they are showing these ads instead..which in turn kiiling my CTR...

    It's just a sign that YPN is not ready to go out of BETA anytime soon.
