Adwords traffic just stopped?

    Has anyone had this happen?

    My campaigns have been running for months, no problem.

    The only thing I can think of that was weird, I posted a new campaign about a week ago with 33 ad groups, only one ad group received any impressions and it was receiving a good amount. I lowered the bid across a ad groups and all impressions stopped, so I raised the bid back up to where it was initially, wahla they all started receiving impressions, I got 700,000+ that day. Next day about 3:00pm every single one of my campaigns stopped except one, of course the one with the least traffic?

    Nothing back from Google yet, I hope they just don't tell me everything looks fine we see your ads crap, as I heard they have done in the past.
    I would like some real answers, please post if you have answers or related experience.

    It couldn't be a slap because I had the same experience and all ads stopped just like that even if those ads were all legit ads leading to a legit business.

    What I did was try to contact the Adwords support and had a chat or two but so far, nothing edible for me as to why my Adwords campaign seemed to just have paused even if the check box indicated live campaigns are running.

    I had 7 million page impressions for a week and then all of a sudden, zero from cost to clicks to page impressions to all the data in my campaign summary...ALL ZERO.

    Same thing happened with me....

    I thought that it just took an unusually long amount of time for my content network stuff ads to start going through (im using images), but I guess its more than that..

    It sounds to me like someone outbid you. What happens if you kick up your bid price some more?

    Your campaign is under review. Buy a new domain and move it there in a new campaign and you'll get the traffic back. Plus it saves you having to send a pm to bob here.

    I would love too... only his advice is vague and inaccurate most of the time and enjoys trying to make me look bad or wrong... None of which is possible

    but anyway on this subject

    I would love to solve this issue for fntastik and allow everyone to see how to fix it... I cannot solve this problem with the information given and fntastik has not PMed me so I assume he does not want his issue solved.

    I had my adwords stop too, I don't know why.. buying a new domain isn't the answer.. both sites are completely legit.. adwords has been pissing me off lately.. I wont go into details, but they are quickly getting on my sh*t list I upp'd my budget, if that doesn't fix it, I'll give them a call again.

    Giving them a call will just get you the run around and pre scripted answers.

    If you want I will look at your problem as well and tell you exactly whats wrong and how to fix it. send me a PM

    I was an adwords user for about a year and it was odd stuff this this that caused me to stop. I would see days were my ad impression would drop like a rock and then magically reappear. I never really got a straigh answer from them.
