    Ok for the past 4 days, ive been trying to run campaigns.

    here's what happens:

    My campaign will run for a few minutes, then automatically stop (out of budget issues)

    Then in maybe 5-10 hrs, itll run again for few minutes, then stop again.

    My budget is set to $100,000/day and ive spent maybe $20 so far.

    Ive talked/called google and they said oh my account is under review and all is good to go now..

    Second day i talked to them again, they said same crap.. your account was under review but it is ok now.

    I got a third email from them again today, and yup, my account is running ads and it was under review before thats why it wasnt running ads.


    And yea, you guessed it, its out of budget again.. Ive spent maybe $50 total in these past 3 days.

    This is very very very annoying to say the least

    maybe 100k per day is a bit to high and google puts you under review. How about putting in $200 or something

    No point putting $100k a day down when its only on shortly.
    So if you used up you daily amount for 10 days you be able to pay?

    Check your account settings - your delivery method should be 'accelerated'. If it isn't, this may cause you problems...

    Maybe one day your spending will change radically. Adwords is sometimes unpredictable. :)

    if this is your first campaign i think you should toy around with a few hundred and not $100,000 HUGE companies dont even use those figures

    This must be a joke a large fabrication.

    If not, I would strongly suggest to use a MUCH lower amount...

    100.000 is quite reasonable if you sell Ferraris online and have a good conversion rate ;)

    Ok, seriously i'm experiencing weird AdWords behaviour as well

    One of our customers (a large well known wineshop) is runnings AdWords campaing on both highly targeted (name of wines and age) and very broad keywords (wine, french wine etc) all them have matching landing pages and a QS of 7/10 - 9/10.

    The result is virtually no impressions or clicks - if i use the AdWords diagnostics tools it tells me no ads match the keyword? I've even created the entire campaign from scratch on another account - only to get the same result: no impressions or clicks

    Is anyone having the same problem?

    I'm surprised a new account can even have the option of being set at 100k p/day, especially if they put limits on the number of keywords a new account can have.

    i guess i don't understand the point of putting up 100,000 dollars. i realize i don't know the whole story, but it seems unrealistic. try even half of that if you truly want to spend that kind of money, and see where it gets you. you may have much more luck if you set upa "normal account", and no more google reviews.

    What is your product/service? Google is biased against certain types of sites such as mlm's, affiliate sites, etc. It probably is an issue of some type of quality score on your account, whether it is from your ads, landing pages, or the account as a whole.

    this happened to me twice, and it is extremely annoying. my budget was completely reasonable and they held my account under review for TWO WEEKS.
