Point me to a url where you are having blocklist problems and I’ll troubleshoot it.

I did call on Friday afternoon and asked for the last person I had dealt with....and was told he was at lunch, but that he'd call me as soon as he got back. Well....needless to say...he didn't call me. Well…still having probs…a few days ago YPN was serving my own ads again….as of this am….thye are still serving ads in my blocked domains list.

We had a blocklist replication bug which we have fixed. Sorry you got the runaround from customer service. That explanation was total BS.

Can't believe it took over a month for Yahoo! to get that worked out. When I confronted them on it....I was upset and asked if I would be refunded for any clicks on my own ad....that originated from my own site.....and basically was told that YPN was in beta and they were working out the kinks.

These are competing sites and not RON ads.... YPN has told me that I have blocked too many domains and it is causing them to have to serve ads for sites I have blocked. This is absolute BS if you ask me. Basically they are telling me I cannot have total control of the ads I run. Funny thing is, I ran AdSense for 2 yrs....and never had a problem with this....I had all the same sites blocked, and Google did a much better job of serving targeted ads....

Still, I'm getting about twice as much through Yahoo. Thanks for the explanation of PSA ads. I was wondering why after putting in so many changes I thought for the better over the weekend, numbers were still low. The answer may be that I was editing directly online with Front Page and saving my changes every few minutes, triggering PSAs and lower returns. I've stopped updating for now.

Straight up, it should not be a problem to block RON ads (the vonage, lending tree, etc.) ads with our ad blocking feature so I'd really like to track this down. If you can direct me where to find some content of yours with our ads on it, where blocking RON was not working, I could start digging. Also, I’d like to look into your problem wrt blocking ads.

I posted some comments on your symptoms on my yahoo 360 page. I'm actually confused by your symptoms. I don't think fast rotation should cause any particular difficulty for our system (e.g., jensense does it). I'm wondering if you ran into a transient problem; can you reproduce it now?
