    I got the below messages in emails from Adwords. How are the display URLs below inaccurate?

    the only reason I could think is because your destination URL doesn't match your display URL ...

    But I thought the destination and display urls didn't have to match as long as they were on the same domain?

    Ugh. I resubmitted the ads and now they're showing as running but no clicks (this after like 8 hours).

    How long will it take for the ads to be back online?

    Re-submitting pretty much flags it for a human review so sit tight for a day or two and wait. Also, a phone call to them may clarify things faster.

    It's just a total mystery why the visible URL was ever labelled inaccurate. It's a working url that matches the domain of the display url.

    who knows what those google guys are seeing...

    ... maybe try it with no www at all.

    Don't know... let us know when you find out though.

    It happened sometimes that once you submitted the Ad its disapproved and later on approved.
    It had happened with me many times in Overture also, first they disapproved the ad and after resubmitting the approve it.
    So don't take it in negative way. And try again, again and again

    Well, the ad began running roughly 48 hours after it was suspended. I am concerned that it is being penalized somehow since I'm getting so few impressions (the ad is only running on the content network).
