    Ok Re-Majiggering is my own word but...

    This last weekend, All of a sudden I started getting ads that had nothing to do with what I had setup to be shown nor what my site is about.

    So, not sure if this will work for all of you, I deleted my Ad-Targets I had setup, then set them for something else for a day. I then deleted the new ones and reset it gain. I'm not sure if the database @ yahoo had a hiccup or what but after 2 days of Crap, it is now working again.

    Anyone else have any problems this month? It seemed like it changed right on July 1st.

    Yeah, that worked in the past for me. However, they turned off ad targeting for my account.

    Seems like they have been doing a lot of that lately. The ad targeting seems a little better now for my account. However, that is pretty weird that they offer the categories then tell us that we can't use it.

    Since last week their targeting improved a lot for my sites. They still don't have enough ad inventory and repeat ads if you have multiple ad blocks but 1/4 of the ads are right on target while the other are related to the general subject of each web page. Ad revenue and CTR are much better now so there is still hope for YPN.

    LOL! I see the exact opposite on my sites.
    Starting from July 1st, my CTR dropped to 0,1% Ads, are all but targeted (I get free games ads on a cooking site) and RON ads are paying 10c or less.
    If nothing change next two weeks I will drop them and switch back to adsense.

    They cut off my ad targeting about a month ago, maybe a bit longer and my ads have become more relevant. Definitely not the best but still an improvement.
