Hey guys, I've noticed today that on all my auction ads sites, the keyword targeting has apparently stopped working completely? There are no thumbnail photos, and every one of the ads has switched to display random generic products. Anyone else seeing this?
Hmmm interesting... are you in the US? Perhaps its a geotargeting thing and is effecting me as I'm not in the States?
Yeah all of mine are still only showing the default identical grey "no thumbnail" pic, but at least some of my sites are now showing keyword targeted auctions once more... which is something.
Yeah I noticed that too... surprised more people haven't said they're having problems with it - presumably its not just us 2 Also, when you run a report of "forever", do you see a graph of "2003, 2004, 2005 - RegionA / RegionB" ? Whats that about?
something is fubar.. it seems like every Sunday evening things go screwy .. although today it started earlier in the afternoon..
The pictures still aren't working for me, but I noticed that if you use multiple keywords (say keyword1,keyword2,etc.) the system will show the random best of eBay ads. If you only use keyword1 then it will target to that keyword. Hope it's fixed tomorrow.
Presumably you're aware of these issues Shoemoney? Just wondered if you're able to let us know whats happening, or when it's likely to be resolved?
Same problem here. Bad timing for me. I just did a lot of work spamming, uh, I mean promoting a new page of high demand high price items. And now nothing but random junk with no thumbnails. There goes an afternoon wasted.
This is the kind of issue that they should write about on their blog immediately, at least to say "we know of the issue and are looking into it".
There's not a widget around that won't pull down your site. They always do. If it's connected to someone else's server, you can count on it. I realize that I need another set of back-up ads ready to switch over when AA goes down. Their outages are not brief!
I can't believe there is no mention of this at all on the auction ads website! Almost half a day with blank or BS ads now...
To be fair, I've been very happy with the performance of Auction ads so far. Nothing we've ever tried has come close to the revenue we're seeing. It's just the recurring ad serving problems that gets to be very frustrating at times...
Looks as though the auction thumbs are back on my sites now, and I think the targeting issue has been resolved as well?
