Does adwords have a mechanism of deactivating once it turns out a site is temp. down ? IMHO....this should be possible..if not....are there 3rd party tools ? (shakes fists at host..... )
No there isn't. You can be disapproved in case of manually checking. but if you're auto approve, you could indeed pay for no real impression & clicks as your site doesn't work properly. But this is completely out of control and responsibility of Google. Mick
yes...i see that. But basiically tehy *could* have a menchanism so if someoneclicks (not myself !) and the site doesnt respond, that the ads are paused. But of course thats not in G's benefit
Nor their reposnsibility. Imagine the heat they would catch when their system paused people's ads because it detected a site being down. I can see the outrage already..."my site wasn't down and Google paused all my ads and I missed $x in sales". I don't want Google turning my campaigns on and off.
