PPC Clicks being redirected

    Hello,

    I am promoting an offer for about a month or so that accept traffic either from US and Canada. My convertions were great where I was getting about 1:5, however since Monday an average of 70% of my clicks are being redirected to a US Smileys offer or similar.

    I have not changed any geo setting with Adwords, but all of the sudden more than half of my clicks are being wasted to the point I had to stop running this campaing.

    Any ideas? Anybody have or had experienced something similar?

    Is that a Adword problem or Azoogle?

    Thanks,

    Seems like an Adwords problem. You are the 4th person I have heard talking about Adwords geo-targeting going haywire lately.

    Now I believe the problem is with the offer. I did some testing last night and changed the SUB ID to track the clicks and all of them went to a US Smileys offer.

    The Geo Targeting is US so the offer I am promoting, but they got redirected to US Smileys instead. Which shows that Azoogle knows those clicks are coming from US and that is why they are being redirected to a US Smileys instead of an International one.

    Go figure...
