    I have started some adwords campaigns for the first time this week and all of a sudden all the campaigns stopped about 10pm last night. There have been no changes to the minimum bids and all my quality scores are still 9/10.

    The only thing I noticed is I just went over 100,000 impressions do they stop you at this amount when your new?

    If anyone can shed any light for me it would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you reached the budget limit you set?

    The fact that you stopped seeing ads at 10pm (obviously late in the day) suggests that maybe you'd used up your budget for that day. This would be based on spend - the fact that your campaign stopped at 100,000 impressions would just be a conicidence - budgets are based on clicks not impressions.

    The other obvious thing to check is that your credit card payments are going through - look at my account -> billing. Although they should give you a message if there's a card problem.

    You can try going to your keywords and mousing over the magnifying glass icon - this should tell you if your kewords are triggering ads and if not why not. Obviously if your budget has been used up you can up the budget if you can afford to.

    Still got plenty of credit in the account (at least 4 days maximum spend). The magnifying glass says 'The keyword phrase does not currently trigger any of your ads. ' as if the keyword has just been added this is the same across all my keywords in every campaign, most of these keywords have been in 3-4 spot for the last week or so.

    Often that means your account is going through a review and ads have been stopped in the meantime. Probably the only way is to wait a day or 2 and see if the ads start showing again - they should do unless a problem is found. You don't have any disapproved ads atall? When there is a review it would be much more helpful if G would just say that

    Obviously this is frustrating but there's not usually a way around it beyond waiting.

    No disapproved ads and no contact from the big G at all, looks like awaiting game then have emailed them through the help section to try and find out more but I won't hold my breath!

    Not having the best start with adwords, just when a small profit was showing this happens! :td

    Right this is wierd it worked for a small amount of time yesterday and stopped when it got to 25p spend, then today it worked for 10 mins and stopped at 24p spend. Google got back to me and said our account was under review but it's now fully working!

    Anyone know whats going on here? have we been given a 25p daily budget you reckon?
