Do IP and/or DNS changes impact Paid search (Adwords, Bing, etc.)
-
What impact (if any) does IP or DNS changes, have on paid search campaigns?
We recently performed an upgrade to our sites that required a datacenter change (but within the same region East US) and DNS change. We believe there may have been an impact to our ad campaigns in the form of suppression of our ads following the change, specifically - Google Adwords.
Is there any information regarding this issue or has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks

Thank you for the response.
We started to see in the Adwords console, Ads previously approved and running were not being shown and we could not tell why. By the latter half of the next day things were back normal.
All we could think of, was perhaps the DNS/IP changes created the need for Google to pause the ads and re-validate the domain.

I have never seen any impact on PPC when migrating a site to a new server relating to the IP/DNS changes.
If the migration didn't go as planned and the new server returned 404, 500 or similar, however, you would find Google may stop serving ads if it noticed. You would receive a notification in Google Ads if that was the case tho.
Why do you believe that your ads were being suppressed?

Google Adwords Clicks not registering properly???
Hello Moz World, I am running a Google Adwords campaign utilizing Google Search and Search Partners only. These are traditional text ads. When I look at the analytics through Google Adwords, I am seeing 60 clicks. Great! However, when I look through the keywords in the ad groups, none of my keywords are registering clicks. I also checked search terms under the keyword tab, and no keywords are populating. Where are my ads being clicked, and how can I view information on these clicks. This is a relatively new campaign, and I am still trying to figure out if I am targeting the right keywords. Thanks ahead of time for all the great responses! B/R Will H.

Custom Filter: Organic Traffic Growth VS Paid Traffic Growth
Hi guys, I need some assistance. We recently removed and disavowed links to our site and I believe it has been about 3 months but I can't see much of a change. Can anyone help me with a filter for GA to be able to measure my organic traffic growth and my Paid search traffic growth. I was also wondering, because organic traffic is determined by variables like fresh, relavant and key phrase rich content constantly being posted, good seo practices etc is there any good way of measuring organic traffic growth vs paid? Please help out where you can.

How to Preserve Capitalization of Specific Letters in AdWords?
I've used dynamic keyword insertion variations in Google Adwords, but here's one that's a bit tricky and I'm starting to think the only way to do it is to create a unique campaign group for this keyword without DKI to pull it off. Trying to dynamically insert the keyword actiNOS, but see no way to over-ride DKI in the campaign for this term. Any ideas or suggestions, or do I need to create a separate adgroup without DKI for this term?
