Why Has Adwords Stop Displaying My Adverts...

derekjansen · 10-29-2010, 05:10 AM

Hi Warriors

The strangest thing happened to me. I've been running Adwords for a local business of mine for quite a while (a year or two) and it's always done incredibly well. Top positions, high CTR, low CPC's, all in all, a pretty well managed campaign in my mind.

But now, all of a sudden, it is simply not displaying my adverts. They are active, funded and eligible, but there are simply no clicks. I've gone from 300 clicks per month average to 12...

Does anyone have any ideas what could have caused this?

Hi,
Your title says they have stopped displaying your adverts.

In your post you say your clicks have fallen to a very low number.

With respect, there is a world of difference between these statements.

The first would indicate the possibility of your account being suspended (it happened to me) because of the massive raising of the bar with Adwords in relation to landing pages, bridge pages etc.

If you are still getting clicks, but a very small amount, I haven't a clue.

Yes, there is a difference between ads stopped running and getting reduced impressions. This could be for any one of a hundred reasons. You just don't provide enough information to really help. The answer may be in your data so I'd look at that.
