    I noticed that the Adwords control panel was showing clicks for my site for today, but my Apache logs were showing nothing.

    When I tried to click my ads I just got the following error:

    Is anyone else seeing the same for their ads?

    Mine work (and thanks, that cost me 10p :) ). Get hold of your account rep and ask for money back.

    Heh, no account rep (although I spend ~ 1000 GBP a month now). I've sent a mail through the contact form, let's hope they respond swiftly.

    Sorry about your 10p :)

    Just got a reply back from Google saying that it's a system problem and they're working to fix it and will credit me for invalid clicks.

    Doesn't really help with the money I'm failing to make though :(

    Cool! I had 300+ clicks today and zero hits on my landing page. I've sent them a note too. Sounds like they had big problems this morning.

    I just used the contact form from the adwords control panel.

    Weird, usually AdWords/AdSense is really responsive, but on this issue, they seem to be trying to dodge any response. They have confirmed via chat that their was definately a problem that morning. I asked them to contact me when it was resolved and they never responded. I've since restarted my campaigns.

    My ads were fine yesterday. Could this have been a geographical issue (maybe only Google UK?)
