Google Adwords Operating in Stealth Mode
Submitted by graywolf on Fri, 2007-06-08 05:54
If you're running Google adwords you may want to log in and check your accounts as they have done another quality score update overnight. What's rather interesting is SERoundtable has the info but the Official Adwords Blog doesn't mention the issue at all.
On a personal note every time they do an update they mention it will affect only a "small" number of webmasters, however I've been hit by the "quality" update every one of the four updates since 2005. Kind of funny.

The last time it happened,
The last time it happened, they said after the whole ordeal that it was a technical issue and they would issue credits to advertisers that overpaid for their ads. I wonder if anyone actually got those credits?!
Noticed this yesterday
Partner was out yesterday and we noticed it across most of the accounts we deal with. Some had 90% of their words switched to inactive and asking for $10.00 a click. Traffic did not seem to be affected, even for the terms they said were in-active. Not sure if we will watch the traffic lessen each passing day or what.
Read this for an idea of why it may be happening:
