Yesterday (Sunday) I was tweaking several ad groups within a campaign. Upping and downing clickthrough rates, deleting and adding word versions, etc. The normal stuff.I have about 18 ad groups in one campaign so as to target specific words to ads, etc. The extra work is starting to payoff. Spending about $150-300 a day US.

In any event, out of no where, traffic just died, kapoot on everything mid day for all campaigns. Did or has this type of thing happened to anyone else? No notices from Adwords, Credit Card is good...etc...

Did the traffic really stop, as in no referrers in your logs, or does the adwords report just not show any impressions/clicks?
Adwords is having massive problems with the reporting, numerous threads in this (Google adwords) forum.

my tracking stopped too....So I think all impressions stopped as well. This matter of AdWords reporting being delayed though is SCARY. Personally, I track sales per cost. It is imperative to have accurate and FAST reporting since I ned to know if I have to quickly pull an ad.

But it looks like now, even if tracking starts to work again, it will be up to 12hrs out-of-date. So we should now refer to it as "history" IMO, as tracking by definition is real time.

On one of my accounts the adwords completely stopped. I think it might have had to do with the credit card being maxed out :(

My card was fine. Adwords responded by saying : "We see your ads. Everything seems to be fine here"

Not much of a response and I just hate it when companies skirt your question by responding avasively. I have a lot more respect for companies that will acknowledge they know they have a problem then those who will not.
