Servers Out of Whack?

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by Linkbait, Apr 10, 2007.

    About midnight last night I logged into my Adwords account to check my ads. I removed certain keywords from one of my Ad Groups and made another group that allowed me to focus more on that keyword set.

    I logged in a few times today to see that none of my ads are displaying. They all say active and my ads are all approved, but when I hover over the status "?" they all say there is a keyword problem or the servers are down.

    Its doing this with ads I had running without any problems for weeks that I did not make changes to. Even all the quality scores are good.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I had a similar issue a couple weeks back but when I checked back into my account after 1 day or so everything was back to normal so I thought they may have had a slight "hiccup" of some sort

    Best regards

    I emailed support just to double check and they said it was because I had so many ads to review.

    I took a good solid hour to set up over 45 ads to target a lot of certain keywords so they have to check them all I guess.


    Now, I have only been using AdWords for about a year with pretty good success with some affiliate programs, my question is: Do some of you that have been members for a while and make a lot of big transactions have fast approval times for your ads? Because its taken me so far a day and a half and my ads have still not been reviewed.

    Did they finally get approved? Also do you have to contact them or can you just wait and they come around and take care of things?

    Yes, I checked when I woke up today and they where displaying.

    It just took a long time for them to approve the ads.

    It really sucks - mine has done exactly the same!!! I have one campaign that's been running successfully with no changes for month and suddenly it's just stopped. Not happy as I'm losing lots of £££ whilst I wait for Google to get back to me. :-(

    Its because you have made some sort of a change that Google needs to check before everything goes live.
