    Hi,

    I recently started an adwords campaign on a joomla based site, but all ads get rejected in a few minutes with a "URL not working" error.

    I contacted support and they told me that LiveHTTP headers reports that some 404 errors on my page makes spiders to see a not working page although I see the page with no apparent problem when checking it with browser.

    I performed a livehttp search myself and here is the result:

    ----
