Default Leave me alone Google

...and please stop taking away all of my key terms.

After having spent about a week trying to find out from Google what figures, exactly, they are using to assess the performance of Adwords keywords I have finally given up. They won't tell me.

Isn't anyone else having these problems? Google must have been flooded with Emails since they made the changes recently to the Adwords system.

Strangely enough, about 80% of the keywords that were valuable to us have been made "at risk" or "disabled" in the last week or two. They have really good click-through-rates ranging from 10 to 100% apparently, but Google say that the click through they use to assess the performance of a term is Google's own secret click-through-rate that you can't see, allowing them to disable things willy-nillly without explanation.

I don't need any help or advice on this. I just wondered if other people were experiencing the same frustration with Adwords?!

I am not familular with AdWords, but you may want to post this in the AdWords section here at WPW. There are people who frequent that area who use AdWords and you might get a better response to your question.

I am having no problems - just checked click through rates and they average 3.7%.
I have two 'at risk', but they have a click thru of only 1.1% & 0.9%

Were you really get 100% click thru?????
