All of a sudden I got two more campaigns, but I never created them. When I click on them I get "We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Our engineers have been notified of this problem and will work to resolve it. Please note that using your browser's back button in AdWords can increase the likelihood of errors. If you think this was the cause of your error, please try again without using the back button." What is going on?

Overdrive, I've got to say this is a new one on me.

I'm guessing that if you log out, then log back in, things'll look as you expect them to look.

If not, I wonder if you may have been seeing two previously deleted campaigns. If this turns out to be the case, just select the 'Show only active campaigns' option from the drop-down on the Campaign Summary page, and they'll go away.

I saw a similar bug once, I was in the middle of making a campaign when my cable gave out, and when it came back, and I logged into G, I had a new campaign, which I couldn't log into as G had saved some of the info, but it was never completed. I knew this was the problem, so just deleted the new campaign from the main view area - and it never did show in the deleted settings - it was just gone after that.

Same thing. I clicked on "Create New Campaign" and just hit back on the browser, never completed it, but showed up.

AWA,
How long does it take for a campaign to go live? I started (finally) my campaign this morning but can’t locate the ad. No impressions nada... Very anxious to see how this AdWords program works for me. Maybe I did something wrong? I did follow instructions and read a lot about the do's and don’ts you and everyone else posted.
