Somethings up at Google AdWords

    For the past week or so, I have noticed that sales and leads for some of my clients have been way below average. When I inquired with Google if there has been any issues with the program they replied "our engineers are aware of an issue where some ads are showing in some regions, but not others" and that "the issue should be fixed at the beginning of the week" Has anyone else noticed a huge dip in their conversions but the same amount of clicks and impressions?

    Update: I spoke with an account rep at Google today who confirmed that there is a considerable issue that their engineers are working on and that "the issues your clients are having with a drop in sales is directly related to this issue." THATS IT! NO ELABORATION! What the heck am I supposed to tell my clients?

    Please, someone out there - do have you spoken to Google latley and have heard anything like this?

    The rub of it all is that I am still getting charged for the clicks but there have been no sales. Yes, the website is working, yes the shopping cart works, yes to every other logical answer to the problem. My bids haven't changed, my position is the same and my landing pages are more than relivant to the topic searched...

    Help!

    Strange. I was just noticing some sales on some affiliate links, so I started putting a few dollars into Adwords... and now no sales.

    It would be nice if it was just a temporary glitch instead of just really variable results.
