I've seen this when they have your account blacklisted - dupe account or having a previous unpaid balance. Is this your first/only account?

Yes, first and only account. I manage a hell of a lot for clients, but this is completely separate. I also had a £30 voucher, so you think they'd at least let me spend that!

| The ads aren't showing and the Ad Diagnostic tool says I'm out of budget. |
| This could be a sign that the budget is far too low to support the traffic potential of the keywords in the ad group. A slightly over-the-top example to illustrate the point: if each keyword is capable of delivering tens of thousands of impressions per day and an advertiser has hundreds of such keywords - all of which are supported by a budget of $1.00 per day. (This basic scenario is a surprisingly common, by the way.) In such cases, the ad can show only a tiny fraction of the day, and the Traffic Estimator may indicate that the budget is in danger of being exceeded just about any time you check it. AWA

Thanks AWA, but I'm extremely confident that this isn't one of those occasions. I have only 4 keywords (this is very niche), and the daily campaign budget is set at 150x the highest max bid.

I believe I've seen this when an AdWords account is under full account review. I'd give our friends at Google a call to find out...

The campaign briefly sprung into life earlier this afternoon, spending the grand sum of 17 pence. But now it's back to complaining the budget is spent. I have a meeting at Google's London office tomorrow - this will be the first thing on the agenda ;-)

I spoke to Google Ireland this morning who tell me the account is in a queue for manual review. AWA - it would be helpful if the error message said this, instead of complaining about the budget. It's very confusing.

Are you on invoicing? There is a bug in consolidated invoicing where some accounts on invoicing don't go live properly as the budget doesn't seem to be get associated to the account and then gives the error that the account is out of budget.

No, this is credit card. Google have confirmed that the campaign has come out of review, and it appears to be delivering normally.

I had the same issue on one of my new accounts. Complained to G couple o times and finally they sorted it. I was told that there is a known technical issue with the account and the senior technical team has manage to now resolve it. Just keep calling them and send emails they will resolve it.

same exact thing just happened to me. I called them and they had to send it to the senior technical team as well. Awaiting a response now, they said within 24 hours.

It took 48 hours to get account approved I spoke to an Adwords rep they said this new acct went thru a manual review including checking the site for policies (interesting) its live . . . 2nd and 3rd campaigns (new domains) went live within minutes after this first approval

Mine also came back online. They said that mine went down because my account was "under review". What does that mean? The only thing I can think of is maybe poor performance as we are in the process of cleaning things up now. Has anyone else had this?
