    It seems like some technical issue, camps are active but not displayed, no clicks etc.
    I believe some ppl don't have this problem but i'm reading here and there an increasing amount of ppl have the same issues.

    Anyone got already a reply from google?

    The Ads Diagnostic Tool has a bug and is therefore disfunctional. When used directly or accessed via the shortcuts next to each keyword, it gives messages like:

    "This keyword is not currently triggering any of your ads."

    At first, I was like . . . :eek:

    Then, after checking my ads with the Ads Preview Tool, I noticed that there was a problem on Google's side and that my ads were actually fine.

    Don't worry about it, therefore; it's just a small fault which, according to Adwords, should be fixed very soon (although that's what they said about two weeks ago!). Just use the Ads Preview Tool to see if your ads are showing. If they are, there's no problem.

    The good thing is, many of my competitors seem to have fallen significantly since this problem arose. The faulty messages must have alarmed them into making changes to their campaigns, which resulted with their plummeting way down in the search results.

    THANK YOU MR ADS DIAGNOSTIC TOOL BUG! :D

    It seems to be typical of Google and their lack of interest in problems

    i notice some quirks the last two weeks...eg. i cant test my campaigns anymore by clicking on the "testing buttons"...but i do get impressions and clicks. When i test the KWs it constantly says "ad is not showing"..but they are.

    Anyone else experience changes not being saved more than usual lately?

    I make changes that are usually to my settings, and after clicking to save, I get the red box of doom "You last changes were not saved" or whatever it says exactly.

    Really becoming annoying.

    That usually happens if you make consecutive changes in a short space of time.

    Well, everything says "active" , no warnings nothing but still the campaign is not working. I've sent a mail to support but no answer yet.

    Ad is also not displayed despite that there is no indication of any problem.
