Better to pause or cancel account?

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for over a year and finally have a question that has compelled me to register.

I've been running an AdWords campaign for 18 months. I prepay my advertising costs. I'd like to stop advertising for a bit (> 3 months), so I'm not planning to top up my account the next time I'm running low on funds.

Does Google mind if you pause all your campaigns for a lengthy period? Many of my keywords have QS 10/10, so I'd rather not cancel the account and have to start over later. I'm just wondering if Google will nag me or end up cancelling the account on me.

 

Just Pause it, not work canceling your account for that

 

Just pause it. You'll probably want to come back later. Doesn't hurt to have it paused and Google doesn't mind as far as I know.

 

If Google doesn't care, I'll pause everything. Thanks for the responses.

 

I had mine paused for 6 months and then they send me a voucher code to get me started again . . . so you might get a little brucie bonus

 

Yes, definitely pause the account - may be some small decrease in qs but lot better than canceling the a/c.

 

just one question. if we pause the campaign for few month, is google will charge any fee for that few month?

 

i dont believe google will charge anything but im not sure im looking to start a adword campaign for my business also and im interested on how much i should be looking to spend?

 

What is your business? Depending on the niche, it will determine how much you will need to spend on your keywords (among other things as well).

 

Well, that's good to know.

 

You can pause your campaigns just like that. Google doesn't care about that. In fact you will be offered discounts / vouchers after some period of inactivity. So go ahead. cancelling is not necessary when you want to start the same after a few months.

 

You are free to pause any campaign when ever and for how ever long you like. My advise is don't cancel your account.

 

Pause it, anyways you cannot DELETE you account. If you cancel it, you log in after and your account is actived again.. i tried it lol

 

No way google will cancel your account. With a QS or 10, (as others have stated) they'll even offer vouchers.

 

Did google send you this bonus by email? Was this code for starting adv like a discount?

 

Anyways.. you can always log in after a cancellation coze the account is never deleted. as you can see, u cant delete but only cancel your account

 

is anyone can confirm what i said please?

 

Yes, you can log-in even after the account is cancelled.

I cancelled my account long back, but I still log-in to use the Adwords tools...

 

Pause is always the best choose mate , in the future you'll n eed it again for sure

 

Yeah its strange.. we cant delete it at all
