    Does adwords program always make you wanna pull your hair out too? I've used adwords program maybe three times before and all three times i had tons of problems with it.

    1. After using it for 10 mins, it reports an error to me saying that i'm a bot and stops working. I have another 15 mins for it restart my session again.

    2. last time i ran a campaign for 5 days, the stats were never updated. With 0 clicks and 0 impressions after 5 days, I thought i didn't get any clicks to my keywords so i just stopped the campaign and never bothered to log back in adwords. A month later i got charged $100 by adwords for the same campaign. WHen i logged into, it magically had 36 clicks. Why such a delay in reporting?


    Just 2 days ago i decided to try adwords again and like before, it's giving me the same issues again. I have to constantly deal with adwords just telling me that im a bot and stopping my sessions. Its getting ridiculous.

    Not only that for some keywords in campaign it tells me that my ads are not showing and i have raise my bid but when i check google search my ad was showing on the first page. So, adwords is giving me false information?

    Just having constant problems with this program.

    Your thoughts and experience on the the ad word software and how do you deal with it?

    Yeah, the problem really has to be at your end, cos I and most others find the GUI to be very stable. There are some error messages I encounter but I think that's less to do with google and more to do with my network settings.
