MSN Adcenter has been running my ad for a couple of days and yesterday they disapproved my ad because of the title, they didn't like it. So I clicked edit, then clicked save and its ran till today, Now they disapproved my URL, so I clicked edit, and save, and its back up. Can I do this shit everyday? I certainly hope so.
 


Funny enough - I put this on my twitter the say before, that adcenter is retarded (twitter.com/Nefig) and the day after they disapproved some of my ads - because of the title. I paused the campaign though cause it was in the red too much to redo my landers - what a weird coincidence
 
Lots of things with adCenter don't make sense.

Example: look at one of your campaigns with multiple ad groups. Now look at the Avg. CPC column. In one of my campaigns, ad group 1 has an Avg CPC of $0.56 and group 2 has an avg of $0.92. What does the Totals column say my Avg CPC is? $1.48.

You need to go back to math school.

avg(Set A) + avg(Set B) != avg(Set A + Set B)
 
I think it would be easier to just slightly tweak the title of the ad or perhaps the ad text. Probably what is happening is this:

The computer system approves your ad, but then a human reviews it & disapproves it.

If your ad complies with all the MSN rules, you can contact adcenter customer service & explain what's happening--they are very helpful:

No, MSN needs to go back to math school - they simply sum up all of the avg cpcs for all the groups and give it to you for "avg cpc" (instead of doing a weighted average of all the cpcs)........ its a completely useless statistic

it worked correctly until their most recent update
 
As far as I'm concerned MSN & Yahoo advertising networks are complete shit.

What pisses me off about both of them is their reporting sucks goat ass. It seems that the stats only update once a day. You never have a good idea of how many impressions your getting or what you've spent until the day is done. This is bullshit.
I never could find any of my ads showing in MSN either. My positions showed in the top 3, but damned if I could ever see one of my ads on Bing. I will not use MSN for any big campaigns again. Waste of fucking time.

I hate to admit it, but Google is the only reliable platform. MSN, Yahoo, Facebook...SHIT!

Yahoo is usually 45 min behind on reports. But there are some days when they are 12 hours behind
