Is Google Resting?!?!

Very Low Impressions.

[cjshu]

My impressions have dropped off significantly in the last few days and of course so have clickthrus and sales. Anyone else getting this?

The weekend? (only kidding) ;)

I've not seen this...

Nope all is fine here. You may want to check you budget or search this forum for other reasons why impressions can be down (such as editing an ad after which you are not shown at the search partners until yur ad is approved again)

It might depend a little on what country you are in. In Denmark the school holydays started this Friday and a lot of people have gone off to different places on the globe. This could explain a drop off in traffic in some parts of the world

Nevermind -- see below...

I just was looking and noticed that the titles and links are missing from AdWords listings, top and side! I tried to click, and the ones on the top get the javascript hover text in the status bar "go to Widgets.com" but the link doesn't work; there are no links on the side listings.

Honest! This can't be happening everywhere, can it?

Does anyone else see this?

Update: I didn't see this on my wife's computer (same browser (IE), network, firewall, etc.).

Update 2: False alarm -- sorry -- I installed Norton Internet Security on my machine at home and Ad Blocking also affected adwords.

Hey,

Just searched for "buy a car" and everything works fine with AdWords. Didn't click on any listings, but everything is there that should be...

I live in Canada.

All the Best,

Sublime,

R U using norton security software?

Robsp -- yep, that's it. Norton Internet Security was my culprit. The Ad Blocking disabled even adwords! How... stupid of it :-)

Thanks, and sorry for the false alarm everyone.

Nope, not the weekend or anti-virus software. This started about a week ago. I didn't make any major changes to keyword costs or daily budgets. Just one day my impressions and clickthrus went down to about half of what they were. Hmmm...
