The problem is that my site is not showing up in the Adwords site-targeted campaign search functions.

For example, if I go into Adwords (as a typical advertiser would) and create a new site-targeted campain, eventually I get to a page where I can search sites by topic, URL, etc.

If I click on "browse categories", I can't find my site anywhere. I see all of my competitors and I have checked all of the categories. My site is a 10-100k site, so it shouldn't be that hard to find!

The only way I can get my site to show up at all is to search for the exact URL.

I have an Adsense contact but he referred me to Adwords support. So far, Adwords support is either ignoring me or they don't have an answer to the question.

Anyone know where I can go to get this fixed?

Well, I finally got an answer from Adwords Support:

Thank you for your reply. Your site may not appear in the Site Tool due to a number of factors. For example, if your site is hosted on a domain path, advertisers will not be able to select your site for a site-targeted campaign.

While we're continually working to expand the network of sites available for advertisers to target, we're not able to guarantee that your site will be listed in the Site Tool. We appreciate your feedback as we work to improve our program.

Please note that advertisers can still add your website to their list by manually adding it.

Anyone know what "hosted on a domain path" means?
