On Again Off Again Keywords

[AussieWebmaster]

Google seems to be activating and unactivating some of our keywords. We have a bunch that we are working downwards for bids.... they sit low and get us small amounts of traffic yet hold a decent CTR as they are relatively obscure terms....

Now we have seen the terms go inactive for a bunch of hours at a time and then get reactivated without us doing anything.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Yes, terms are always going off and on in our account. Seems like a strategy for Google to force higher bids w/o completely losing the traffic if you don't.

Could this be a residual effect of last Friday's $10 glitch?

I haven't noticed it in my account, at least not any more than usual. I do find this happens periodically but not on a large scale.
