I am wondering if this could be being triggered by cloaking or something I am unaware of that may have also played a hand in my recent penalizing by Google. I don't use any unethical coding or techniques.
My site has good PR and is listed among the top in my category in the DMOZ. I recently lost all my top 10 SERPS for many good keywords/phrases.
I, of course, contacted Google about this.
Very frustrated with Google right now. Anyone had this problem or have any suggestions other than adding these sites to my Competitive ad filter (already doing this... but taking lots of my time)?
If YPN is performing that much better for you, seems like it would be smart to give them the majority of your adspace.
I wish that was the case, but it isn't. I only moved to YPN on poorer performing pages that had AS. I started switching before the AS ad targeting went down the drain, and was only doing slightly better. Now that the ads aren't being targeted correctly, even the pages where before it didn't make sense to switch are doing better. Look, I like AS more than YPN when the targeting is normal. YPN pays more per click, but CTR is much lower. I come out slightly ahead overall with AS. But on my poor performing pages, switching to YPN has been a real boon to my bottom line. I'm glad we finally have them as an option!
They should simply nuke it and tell the advertiser why.
Something does not pass the smell test on that ad....Google, kill those pormn ads, please.

everything ok here with the ads, stats as usual.
