There are still several large MySpace-oriented sites that: 1. Display irrelevant ads (what MySpace users goes to these sites looking for a Masters degree?) 2. Spams the user with Yahoo ads (if you don't think a leadboard and two 300x250s side by side at the top are excessive, I don't know what is) http://freecodesource.com http://myspacesupport.com http://mypimpspace.com Apparently these sites are making 6 figure incomes monthly at the advertisers expense. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2997692&highlight=six%20figures%20monthly#post2997692 It's crazy that you guys have not taken any action.

I know of a person who runs blogs and websites that have nothing but RSS articles and Yahoo Publisher ads running on them. The fraudster joins co-ops where they click on each other's Yahoo ads to make money. This person buys bulk garbage traffic in the form of pop-up and pop-under hits to make his hit/click ratio look reasonable. He has collected about $5,000 from Yahoo since February of this year. I can't turn him unless I know that he wont go to jail. How’s this for poor quality traffic?

I have 75% of the traffic form US, but also Canada and Europe. I already kicked out my web-site the famous trouble making countries, but filtering countries to do not display the ads, it's something above my possibilites. That's something should be done on the feeder side. I see on many RSS feed i get they show a page like this: "sorry this ads is only for US audience." Beside, checking out some of the advertisers (not clicking on their ads :-)) I've noticed they do international business. So why not show ads to foreign countries? Agree with freecat.

Serious publishers are concerned about generating quality leads for their advertisers as much as YPN, so it would be a smart move to cooperate together and help them out, instead of cutting them off abruptly. Also, a lead quality/early warning system would be a smart feature that would differentiate YPN from its competitors. I also agree with DLeggett.
