My Vendor's webiste is suspended - now what?

How often do you guys/girls experience this things?
It's first time it happened to me. I just started a PPC campaing and was wondering why the sales went down the toilet.

Any ideas what to do? Should I just move on and forget about this CB product or what?

    Sucks, doesn't it?

    It has happened to me once and I tried contacting the product owner
    and I got no reply so I just moved on.

    That website came up in about a week but I will never promote it again

    Quilst,
    I would first try to contact the vendor just in case he/she doesn't know the site is down.
    A site getting suspended could just be that he/she forgot to pay the hosting fees.

    Just my .02,
    Have a Great Day!

    Yes Mohammad it sucks big time - just when the things started to roll in a positive direction... *sigh*

    Michael do you think hostgator/suspended.html is just for not paying the hosting fees? I really wish so it is true

    I just checked the gravity for the product and it's going down for the past week and a half

    It could easily be to some hiccup in paying the fees.It might also be the result of them blowing by their bandwidth limit. I'd check to see what's going on before jumping to any conclusions or making a final/permanent decison. Between now and then.... can you point your campaign at a differrent product?

      Well... I can't I bought a specific domain name where I am driving traffic to from my PPC campaing and there is no other product that could fit in my domain name description...(it was a $1 .com on goddady) - good thing I check my PPC stats every day

    Quilst,
    I may be wrong as it's been a while since I've seen the hostgator/suspended.html page
    but I believe if it's for non payment it will say so on the page and recommend that the
    owner should contact billing/support dept ASAP

    Have a Great Day!

      It says: The website you are trying to view is currently experiencing difficulties, please try again later.

      Nothing more

      I was thinking of bandwidth problems but the sales have stopped 5 days ago

    It happended to me once... because I was using a autoblogging script that nearly melt the server, and my account (with all my sites) where suspended...

    The funny part is that the script (that I paid for) not only mess with the server's cpu and memory but also didn't gives me any cent or decent traffic.

    I had to ask to the host people to remove the plugin so they could reactivate my account... 1 week past... 1 week without money .

    man... that's sucks!... I'm depressed again....
