Google is automatically activating Content Network in Campaigns - Adwords

Hi,

Today I astonished that one of my campaign has got huge number of impressions .. and when i saw the summary tap for that particular ad group, i came to know that most of impressions from CONTENT NETWORK.

Actual thing is one month back I opted out content network for all of my ad groups .. but today it is showing the traffic data in content network column even though I checked the Edit Campaign Settings (it showing uncheck)

Have any guys encounter this issue ... ??

please let me know.

 

It never happened to me before. It's a very weird situation. Maybe you should email Adwords support for help.

 

How else do you think they keep adsense alive. No one would actually advertise on content by choice!

 

If you unchecked it and they still put you in, that's a huge problem. Call them and make sure they refund you.

 

you can uncheck it in the campaign settings before activating the campaign...

D.C.

 

yea....i have never faced this kind of problem..you have to call to adwords support center and tell them what is going with your a/c

 

Samroy, nope, that's never happened to me. Do multiple folks have access to your account? Check the change history to see when/if the content network was reactivated.

I have got this problem as well. Content network has been disabled and was so for a few days, but today content network was on!?!? at the summary tab it says "disabled" under the status column but still had click impressions and costs how RUDE! contacted Google this morning for refund of money. Google has a problem!

 

What did they say?

 

Thanks for replys.

I had contacted Google Adwords Team regarding this issue ... they replied back and told that there is technical problem in Google for last two days.

Google Reply:

"Please note that this is due to a technical issue affecting some AdWords
accounts over the last two days. We are aware of this issue and our
engineers are currently working to solve the problem. They hope to reach a
resolution shortly.

Let me assure you that once our engineers have resolved the issue, we will

I hope, I can claim for inappropriate clicks.

 

I got the same response from them lets see what happens. least the content network is not running today as it should.
