My previous PSA pages now show targeted ads.

I just realized now, when I wanted to test the alternate ads, that my previous sure-fire PSA pages now show targeted ads. Those pages had all the bad words on them, and now nicely targeted ads.

Has anybody else had PSA pages return back to life?

mine have not returned to life. did you use the alternative ad feature and that is what made it work? i have not used the alternative ad feature yet.

HO, that's my point I WANTED to see some alternate ads (heck, what I was gonna put there might have made more cash then adsense!) but It didnT' show because suddenly no more PSAs!

Just a tip:

if you want to test your alternative ads, put
?randometc=asdasdasd123 at the end of your page URL.

that sort of stuff never gave me PSAs, just site wide targeted ads. In fact,m that gave me targeted adss on my kill word pages.

I found that when I tested the new (alternate) ad text, using a sample page located on my computer, that the alternate text was returned every time. (The html file containing the alternate text was situated on my website; the file containing the Google code was located on my PC, and I was of course connected to the internet.)

also, adding?murder-death-kill to the end of the URL does the trick for testing purposes ;)

not only did i have the highest traffic today in all history of my site ; it also corresponded with the least earnings / CTR / CPC . So i m really going crazy. Only soln can b that too many PSA were showing. Otherwise my CTR doesnt go underground even if /* censored content */. *grumble* sorry, but plz try to understand my feelings :(

Here's a tip:

Even if you don't intend to show your own ads, show a blank page and use it to log which pages show PSAs and for what visitor IPs. Then you can find out if geotargeting shows PSAs that you, yourself never see, and on what pages and at what times per day... heck, this is so good I'll start a new thread about it...

As someone else suggested, when I added alternate ads, I found that they never appeared on my site. Magically, those "PSA magnet" pages (as someone called them) now display targeted ads.
