YPN Ad Blocking is Down

Posted in YPN, Yahoo by Elliott Back on April 23rd, 2006.

I’ve been having some trouble with PSA ads running on the Yahoo network. It turns out that my advertising blocklist / blacklist isn’t really being used, or being used at random. If you need a list of sites to add to your “Ad Blocking” filter, here’s mine:

borrellassociates.com
cablewholesale.com
comcastoffers.com
ebay.com
florist.com
lendingtree.com
lowermybills.com
lowquotesmortgage.com
lowratesource.com
nextag.com
nextstudent.com
vonage.com

I got an email back from Yahoo about this topic:

Just so that you are aware, Yahoo! Publisher Network beta was recently informed that we are experiencing a problem with the functionality of the Ad Blocking feature. The Ad Blocking feature is working intermittently or not at all. At this time, we are currently investigating the issue and the scope of those affected with no expectations for a resolution. We do anticipate resolution shortly.

Hopefully this targetting problem will be resolved soon–or I may become very tempted to try out Google Adsense again.
