May have found bug causing my random slowing

"Negative match" keyword showing up as active "broad match" in KW report

And as luck would have it, it's the word "free" (or -free, to be precise).

The report claim sthis is a "Normal" status broad match keyword that's generated 72 impressions for me today. It shows as a negative match on my KW list (as it should), but that would explain why my account keeps getting slowed randomly with very specific keywords and not having ever seen any keywords go On Trial or On Hold or whatever that is.

I've emailed tech support, just thought I should let you all know.

Now that's odd. Good to see some reasonable cause.

Hey, BTW, I find it easiest to get campaigns up on only the google search network, so I can see the true CTR. I do this by unchecking "search" and "content" on campaign settings. Once you're happy with your ads, enable search and then content and keep tracking. (Search stands for partner networks, such as AOL).

I could tell that you weren't giving up just by the fact that you posted ;)
