Yahoo serving blank ads?

    For the past 3 days, I've noticed that the Yahoo Ads are sometimes empty. These ads also affects my daily earnings.

    Anybody else getting the same issue?

    Yes I am, I have 3 ad units on my site and most of the time the first one has 2 or 3 ads in it and the other 2 units will be completely blank except for the "Ads by Yahoo" line at the top and every now and then they will all be filled with ads like they should be but then they will go back to showing nothing. This has been happening for about a week or so and since someone else is having the same problem at least I now know it's not me and that something is wrong on Yahoo's end, so I hope they fix it soon because it's affecting my daily earnings.

    This is normal, it's just that your niche doesn't have any relevant ads.

    No that's not it, all my ad units have been filled with relevant ads for the past 3 months and i'm still getting those same relevant ads every now and then but for the past week about 70% of the time I'm getting blank ad units so there must be something wrong with Yahoo's ad servers and hopfully it will be fixed soon.

    That's weird because my site gets that once in a while but it always fixes itself.
    Have you tried talking to a representative?

    Same happening to me, I was talking about it on the other thread, my earnings dropped from $12/day to $2/day

    Ad impressions dropped from 120k/day to 50k/day.

    What's wrong.. someone reporting it to ypn yet? I think i am going to do it.

    Yeah, I saw one yesterday.
    "Ads by Yahoo" - that's it! No ads.
    I pulled the code.
    I will pull the code on any others I find, as well.

    I need to find an alternative, except that I have tried most of them. No good.

    YEAH! And I checked my impressions too. Where did they go?!?! A fraction of normal.

    Well, I'm still receiving some blank ads now. I've been playing with the ad targetting a bit and it hasn't helped. I've also contacted a Yahoo representative and they said it's my fault that the ads are blank. I'm still playing around hoping to find a solution.
