My sites are organized using the first two subdirectories as the state/city i.e., /florida/miami/ and from there its broken down into product & service categories. Given the number of state-city combinations there's no way I can use this. If I could target an ad by "/*/*/cars" or "/*/*/jobs" then it becomes a time and cost effective way to get more relevant ads. -JayW How about giving us the ability to use wildcard characters on subdirectories?

The entire domain should just be domain.com, the www is nothing more than a (common) subdomain. PS. I read a great post today over at SitePoint, someone wondering if they should demand a refund of their advertising budget because of the way publishers are abusing YPN and wasting his money. In a humourous twist of fate, one of the sites he tracked down showing his ads is one that I've previously reported and you've ignored. :) Who’s bright idea was it to require www prefixes?
