I just set up a new campaing, the traffic has not started flowing to it yet, and I find two of my keywords are already "on hold"

"This Ad Group contains keywords that aren't performing well. These keywords are currently under evaluation and may potentially be disabled. Please improve the keyword(s) labeled 'in trial' or 'on hold' below."

How the fuck do they know? It has not recieved any traffic yet

I've had that happen before also. Immediately after I added it some keywords were on-hold.

The keywords they put on hold were actually keywords that would have probably performed poorly anyways. Maybe google really are geniuses!

maybe its a keyword that has proven to perform poorly in general

It is Google's new lame technology for Adwords (well not new, about 4 months old). They put terms on hold that they feel will not convert well for your site content or particular ad copy.

Yes, it is ridiculous, but sometimes calling them up can fix it.

Thanks guys, it will not affect my ad performance if I have some kws performing good, right?
