Recent Adsense Change?

[hseitz]

I noticed today that even with keyword density, targeted titles, page names, etc. that my ads have all changed and no longer reflect the content that's on my site(s) and blog(s). I'm fairly new to adsense and would love some insight on what may have happened and how to fix it. :(

I think that with the holiday season there are too few advertisers active and so too few context-related ads available.

I've been getting two and sometimes just 1 single ad in a 336x280 rectangle recently. My CTR of 12%-13% has almost been cut in half, along with the revenue. Hopefully, this is due to scaled back holiday AdWords campaigns...as another poster pointed out.

I have also had less ads, CTR down to 7 - 8% but strangely my income has more than doubled

With the greatest of respect, if your ctr or revenue is going down, then it is time to do something about it. Continuing testing and split-testing until it goes up again.

Why do you think Yahoo has limited itself to the USA?

Why do you think Yahoo has limited itself to the USA?


well lets see
Canada has a population of 31 million

United States — Population: 295,734,134
California — Population: 33,871,648
Texas — Population: 20,851,820
Florida — Population: 15,982,378

wow 3 us states that have more or almost the same population of our WHOLE country..

So in some eye's were a tiny market not work the time of money to enter..

I wasn't just talking about Canada but all countries outside of USA. I would have thought that the more web sites that they can run their ads on the more money they'd make...

[mgrcentral]

Yahoo context ads are limited to the USA and people with US social security numbers.

Hence we aussies (like canadians) miss out....

[drlloyd]

Is it just my imagination or is it just the 336x280 block which seems to be affected?

Checking through my sites all the other options seem to be working as normal but all the 336x280 blocks are stil showing two ads instead of four.

I know what the Yahoo ad rules are (i.e. US SSN) but I do not know why Yahoo have implemented those rules. It appears that they are denying themselves revenue from foreign advertisers.
