God I hate Adwords. I had a couple campaigns with the name 'Google' in the domain. After 2 weeks+ of awesome profits, I get the dreaded google slap - all my keywords change to have a QS of 1 (they were at 10 before). Now, I even started a new account. Trying something new. Trying to...

Anyone else advertising on here? I've spent a few hundred dollars thus far with very little in the way of clicks and conversions. Would much appreciate others' feedback on this traffic source. All the best!
