Didn't I read somewhere that they were going to start serving up PPA ads amongst the PPCs whether you signed up for them or not?

I sincerely hope that isn't the case and doesn't ever become the case. PPA and PPC are most assuredly two different product types that shouldn't be combined.

On some of the referral code I've used the "pick best performing ads" option, but when looking at stats, I can see stats for ads named things like "leads," "mens" and even "product" I have no way of knowing what the actual product or ad was that appeared on my site. Nor do I know what their site looks like, what it sells, or anything about them at all for that matter. It's causing me to not want to ever select the pick best performing ads option, but when I don't I have the same problems everyone else is describing where the ad won't be displayed anymore after a few hours or days, this doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to discourage use. On that front, maybe you could make a notification system that at least lets publishers know that their referral ads for a particular advertiser are not being displayed for one reason or another.
