Reply With Quotesearch for google slap on here mate
What the hell is going on....
Half my ads just arent showing at all, yet there is nothing wrong with them, no errors or messages, plenty of budget etc
A massive chunk of my ads have now had their minimum bid increased from the 6p I was paying to between 25p and 50p per keyword for around 40% of the keywords
Yet others are working fine no problems.
I have even created a brand new campaign for a new site I've made and no ads are showing for that either.
This is not good, i've lost out on sales now for 2 days!!!

I wondered that, but my ads that arent displaying are all showing as active and all look completely fine! Everything looks as normal, yet no ads are displaying. Quality score etc is all fine for my keywords!
I am getting this message when I click on the (?)
Ad showing?
No
The keyword phrase does not currently trigger any of your ads.
There are several possible reasons why your ad isn't showing for this keyword, including:
* You just added the keyword to your campaign. You may experience a short wait as your keyword goes through the review process.
* Our system is experiencing a delay.

Quality Score:
Great
Minimum bid is £0.02
Most of my other ads are displaying as normal...!
I've had a similar problem. After a bit of investigation I realised that a lot of .com urls have suddenly become competition. While my quality score and minimum bid have remained the same my ads have either not not been triggering or are showing way down the page 3/4s.Originally Posted by Grizzly

I'm now competing with 100 odd advertisers, whereas previously I only had as few as 10!
I'm not sure whether this is just a temporary blip or a big change?
My accounts been playing about as well, as I`ve mentioned in another thread. I`m pretty sure there are bugs in adwords at the moment, I don't think any of this is deliberate.
My ad's dropped from 2nd to 8th position for the last couple of days, although my quality score didn't change, neither did my minimum bids.
Today though I`ve gone back up to 2nd again, with no changes on my part (decided to sit and wait it out rather than screwing with my campaigns), so it looks like the problems been fixed.
Mine has recovered slightly, but not back to normal yet.
Hopefully, as you say, it's just one of those annoying little hiccups which seem to be happening a lot just lately?
I think so, I really can't see these problems as being deliberate in any way, looks like a bug in their system, which hopefully they have fixed (or are in the process of fixing).Hopefully, as you say, it's just one of those annoying little hiccups which seem to be happening a lot just lately?
good news! My ads are back this morning!
I emailed Google yesterday, so dont know if that has helped or not (I've not had a reply other than the automated one) but my ads are now back where they should be, phew!
only 3 days worth of losses
I set up a new campaign today and my ads still aren't showing either. I sent them an email early this morning so I hope it gets sorted soon - and quicker than three days!
I finally had an emailed response from Google today, only took 5 days!
According to them my ad's weren't running becase my account was under review.
Really pleased that its passed, but I think the least that they can do when they stop your ad's running is to send an email to let you know whats going on, even if its just an automated email. Would also be handy to of had a proper status in my Adwords account as well, saying that the account was under review, rather than saying my budget had been exceeded which made no sense.
I phoned them earlier and explained the problem and the guy I spoke to said someone else would need to look at my account and he would get back to me. Later I then received an email saying my account was under review and everything is now running as it should but I've checked my account and nothing has changed!
I wonder what 'under review' entails?
As a side issue, my adsense which returns a predictable amount of peanuts, day in - day out, has suddenly stopped returning any peanuts, 2 days running for the 1st time in 18 months?
I wonder if there is a connection?
I don't really buy the "under review" excuse, I still think its likely to be a bug.As a side issue, my adsense which returns a predictable amount of peanuts, day in - day out, has suddenly stopped returning any peanuts, 2 days running for the 1st time in 18 months?
If it's happened to a lot of people, then there will be a lot less ad's running than normal (and this was certainly the case in my sector).
If may be that your adsense has died because its showing a lot fewer adverts than normal, and so attracting fewer clicks.
Very likely, if so many people on here have been affected then how many sites worldwide are being reviewed?
Yeah, that's probably right as I have adsense on every page and the number of impressions on the adsense report are about 20% of the page views on analytics.If may be that your adsense has died because its showing a lot fewer adverts than normal, and so attracting fewer clicks.
