Paused Google AdWords Ads Still Running

A bug I reported almost two weeks ago now, Google Advertiser Charged For Paused Campaign in AdWords is still an issue. I have been getting messages left and right from AdWords advertisers who are still noticing this.

There is even a new WebmasterWorld thread with renewed complaints. Google has acknowledged this is a bug and has done so again.

Confirmed - and my apology for the confusion and inconvenience.

AdWordsAdvisor did say that you will be refunded this information and she did make sure to giggle at a comment by heyday saying;

I guess you can look at it the other way......you get a refund....plus you got some free traffic.

So free traffic isn't bad, is it?

When will it be fixed? Who knows...

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
