    You can't use foreign characters as a title and then write your ad text in English

    People at WMW reported that Adwords was down for a while today in the afternoon... something seems to be messed up

    Adwords let me create an ad w/ the same title (just now).

    from-
    https://adwords.google.com/select/guidelines.html

    Doesn't say much in the guidelines about titles.

    Yeah that's pretty crazy, I can't believe they're offering FREE MSN icons & smileys.

    I've seen dynamic keyword use in the title cause some weirdness from time to time too.

    Some people post the ads and before they are approved their ads comeup and you view special adverts ;)

    that is wierd, probably got a few clicks aswell. I swear they didn't let me use ! but asking a question is surely a way of advertising.

    do you need home improvements? etc
