Do you see any ads? Those keywords used to have 1000 pages of ads.

They started removing them yesterday..

**BradM** · 09-23-2004, 12:47 PM

BS. I didn't get it.

**David!** · 09-23-2004, 12:47 PM

Damn, sucks real bad if it's true

**XPays** · 09-23-2004, 12:48 PM

my adwords traffic is flowing nicely- are you trying to keep your ppc low?

**WiredGuy** · 09-23-2004, 12:48 PM

I call bullshit, my rep would have called me to let me know but I have been trying to get a hold of him today to see what is up.

Its really true. You gotta be a licensed pornographer from now on...

**polish_aristocrat** · 09-23-2004, 12:50 PM

So why are u the only who who got that mail?

**cafeaulait** · 09-23-2004, 01:01 PM

From an Adwords rep over on webmasterworld:

"Sorry to arrive at this discussion a bit late - I've had a morning full of commitments.

No, this is not a policy change, as correctly predicted by NoCarrier. Rather, it is a technical glitch. As you may well imagine, this is now a top priority around here - and will be addressed as quickly as possible.

I'll post with updates, as I have them. And in the meantime, thanks for your patience.

AWA"

**Veterans Day** · 09-23-2004, 01:02 PM

just like I said

**Rick Latona** · 09-23-2004, 01:02 PM

The world is against us.

**adamorgasm** · 09-23-2004, 01:05 PM

I spoke to my adwords rep who said that the technical glitch is being worked on and that it should be fixed shortly.

**wdsguy** · 09-23-2004, 01:07 PM

I call bullshit, why don't u post the email

That's what I'm hearing as well. Technical problems, working on being resolved now. Seems a little more than technical to be honest though, only seems like adult keywords are affected since regular searches are working fine.

**ClamSmacker** · 09-23-2004, 01:18 PM

If your email is from Google, please post !

**emthree** · 09-23-2004, 01:37 PM

Your reps are held in the dark, don't believe them.

Like Rick said, the world is against us ... soon enough hey will unveil the master plan

We've heard about glitches one too many times

**Brujah** · 09-23-2004, 01:38 PM

**Frile** · 09-23-2004, 01:41 PM

If you are an adult advertiser check if your kw's had strange HIGH clickthrough rates for today before they stopped... I think adult kw's suffered a hitbot attack of large proportions and google stopped adult ads as prevention.

**IntenseCash** · 09-23-2004, 01:45 PM

Our AdWords stopped too but we didn't get any email so I am going to go with cafeaulait and adamorgasm on the technical glitch.

**TheMob** · 09-23-2004, 01:47 PM

google is so buggy these days.. my mainstream ads aren't showing either

**Frile** · 09-23-2004, 02:37 PM

bump

**slavdogg** · 09-23-2004, 02:46 PM

there was something weird with adult ads 2 days ago.. not sure about today.
we made 5x the norm selling traffic to google than normal

I'm guessing you're using AdSense. If that's the case, then check out some of the IP's. Willing to bet there was a lot of proxy traffic the last day or two. It would make sense because the percentage clickthroughs have soared several fold for me.

**HairToStay** · 09-23-2004, 02:58 PM

So, Chicken Little was wrong?

My ads are still there.

It's still sporatic. I took my ads offline until I'm sure whatever it is that's going in won't result in further clickthrough fraud.
