Targeted Location

"This keyword is not permitted to show your ads in the targeted location."

I got this problem on all of my keywords....what's the problem? First, the location was USA, then I tried to add Canada as well. Nothing changed.

After that, I've tried to put "All Countries and Territories" and still i got this problem.

P.S. Do I need to include my location in targeting or it doesn't matter?

 

Seems like it's a trademarked term. Sometimes terms are just trademarked in a specific market, so you can use them elsewhere - and sometimes not.

 

Don't worry. Your ads are almost certainly showing. There is currently a problem with the Ads Diagnostic Tool. Read about it here.

So the best thing to do, is just don't change anything and wait?

 

Still got the same problem ;//// are u sure it's something wrong with adwords, not my campaign?

 

Hi, Loshara,

Apparently, there are currently some problems with the Ads Diagnostic Tool, so don't believe what it says about the status of your keywords and ads. I know the Ads Diagnostic Tool is faulty because I was told so by Adwords. Use the Ad Preview Tool to check whether your ad is showing in the desired region, and don't make any adjustments to your campaign unless the results dictate otherwise.

 

Ok, tnx for help

 

The Ad Preview Tool is not always reliable. I know my ads are running (I see daily the number in the adwords campaign stats) but in the preview tool it doesn't show up. So, don't put Your confidence 100% into this tool.

 

I have a keyword with an ad that is not appearing, is showing this notice, and has no history as yet. It's not bee up long and may be a low-search number term, so I'm going to keep watching out and wait to hear from my Google rep.

Thanks for the info, all.
