I don't understand what part of this is strange? Google won't show both keywords at the same time, and will show the one in the campaign it thinks is most relevant to the search. Did you think they would be exactly even?

Maybe Google knows you own both accounts and only showing one ad from one of the accounts at any one time. I believe they have the ability to do this. As I'm assuming you have different keywords, ads, CPC, budgets and settings, I would expect the impressions to be different. If not, Google is choosing the one it figures is the best performer. Either way, the system will always find differences and favor one over the other, no matter how similar they look to you.

If the display URL is same for both the campaigns, then Google will not display both the ads at the same time. Google has a policy where 2 similar ads will not be displayed in a single search results. So in this case, when one ad from one account/campaign is being displayed, the second ad is just not selected by Google since they are similar.

Thanks for the responses, The only explaination i can fathom is that google knows both the accounts are somehow linked, the URL example is not the case as both the ads go to seperate websites. Any more input on this would be great as i am not sure this is the reason, as the ads are on completely seperate accounts, there are no cross overs. Thanks

Test it. Have one account show ads from midnight to noon and the other noon to midnight or some other period. If the daily total from both is what you expect, then Google probably knows you own both accounts.

Lucid, Thanks for that, though i am not in a position to test as even though the figures are half of the amount on the lesser account we are still talking many thousands of pounds in conversions, this is not something i wish to throw away for testing. Link Juice
