    Ads no longer targetted; no clicks anymore?

    Hey all,
    I own a typo to the adult website megarotic.com (don't visit unless you're old enough!)

    This typo receives over 5 uniques a day (on average). I'm using parked.com with this domain, and have set the keyword for this name to "sex". At first, the adverts were targeted as you'd expect (i.e. related to the keyword "sex"). These ads were getting clicks - but I think they only ran for a day (in which I received over $1 in clicks/rev.). Because now the ads are no longer targeted. This is what I see when I visit the site:

    Mega
    Consumer Electronic
    Panasonic Manual
    Sony Mini Dv
    iC
    Philips.com
    Toshiba.com
    Sony DVD R
    Hewlett Packard Photosmart
    Hewlett Packard Deskjet
    Electronics Boutique
    The keyword is still "sex", hence I'm wondering if anyone could let me know what's happened? I e-mailed my account managed, who sent a screenshot saying that they were seeing the sex-related ads as normal. However I cannot see these ads, nor can any visitors to this domain (apparently - judging from the lack of any clicks anymore).

    Any ideas? Help would be appreciated How can I ensure that the keyword (hence ads) stay related to "sex"? Because I think that this domain could be a great revenue earner, if the ads were correct?
    Thanks,
    Tristan

    The UK seems to throw up generic ads most of the time.

    Question, did you try to "reset" the domain and enter the keyword again? Sometimes things get changed up by playing with the colors and lander pics, etc. Sometimes you just have to reset it.
    I'm buying credit, banking, loan, insurance related generics in .com, .net, .org with high search volumes/traffic. Will consider typos too! - PLEASE PM with name, info, & asking price!

    or maybe the sex related ads show only in the US/CA? I had a similar issue with trafficz, where they told me that they target ads only in US and Canada, and throw generic ads for the rest of the world that are relevant to the domain name

    Thanks for the replies both I've gone ahead and reset the domain, and hopefully that will fix it.

    I can see the correct ads when using a proxy (hence routing through the USA, etc), however I think that namestrands might be right that the ads I'm seeing is because I'm in the UK - it seems that way!

    Tristan,
    The problem is Yahoo decides what is an adult domain and what isn't in the UK, so setting it to "sex" does make it work in the US, but not in the UK. I can set it so the domain goes to our Ask feed, and then it will show adult no matter what country you are in.
