Anything that can cause this? Nothing is showing as disabled, no warnings about CTR when logging in and everything is average 2-3% ctr if it was searched.

I've gone through and deleted some 0 search and 0 ctr words, but nothing is showing up in serps.

is this usuall or just a quirk for the time?

I think you have checked some or most of the followings but it's better to recheck.
1. Are both your ad compaign and ad group on?
2. Is your daily budget fine?
3. Is yesterday is the end day of the ad?
4. Is your CPC too low? Try to play around how the ad react.
5. Have you past the credit limit with AdWords?

Good luck.

1. Yup
2. Ok - set to 500.00
3 - verified - not expiring until march 1st 2004
4. cpc wasn't too low - nothing marked as such and no disabled keywords or warnings about slowing down campaign because of cpc
5. nope.. only did 15 dollars yesterday.. they billed for 300 just a few days ago 0 problems.. low balance. I usually pile up to 500 bucks before being billed.

Good link, thanks for that!

I didn't hit 100k in that campaign yesterday although i've reached over 100k before and not been throttled/locked.

Last time i ran this exact campaign for a week and 0 problems. This time it ran yesterday and stopped just before midnight as todays reports show 0 clicks. Odd.

I wrote them and inquired. Will wait it out.

I thought it was because i was editing and changing some adgroups today and got warned about one of them that i could have had issues but i didn't get a single ad today.

Don't wait. Call 1-866-2GOOGLE.

If you wait it out, your might lose 2 or 3 days. You will probably receive an email saying -

Thank you for your email. It appears your account was placed on hold while our Specialists reviewed it. Our records indicate that your ad is currently running on Google. Blah.. blah.. blah..

So now I should add one more in the check list.

6. Check your "invalid card" access or max out credit card.

Card is fine. Overture is sucking cash out of it all the time :)

Getting better response from overture so i think i'm going to relax my adwords spending a bit. Get more clicks for the buck at AW but i get more signups from Overture. figure that..

ByronM,
As you mentioned that your daily budget is $500. I think your credit may not have enough cash to cover this daily budget. If you reduce the daily budget for this campaign, it might work. Why not try since it already disabled anyway.

It could be related to the G AdWords credit card processing. I had 3 good cards declined yester and today, and ended up calling G and having them manually enter the cards as they just weren't going through. They said there were 'tech difficulties' which they were trying to iron out.

If at any time your account is not preforming, then give G a call. This is a good forum for advice, but once it starts affecting your revenue - you need someone who can look at the control panel figure out the problem - its a toll free number and I've only once had a rep unable to figure out a problem.
