Ad Diagnostic Tool Showing Incorrect Message

Report this issue here

If you think the Ad Diagnostic tool is providing inaccurate info try the Ad Preview Tool at http://www.google.com/adpreview to search for your ads.  This is not the most optimal method to test your ads but if you see your ads running it will at least give you peace of mind.  The preview tool will also allow you to see your ads without causing impressions to your account.

Note: if your budget is not lasting the day or your ads are set to standard delivery vs. accelerated you may not always see your ads displayed in the preview tool.  If you do not see your ads displayed try several keyword variations….again, not the best alternative but at least you can do this searching for yourself freely without effecting your CTR.
