AdWords Device-Level Bid Adjustments for Tablet not working for me
-
Yesterday Wordstream announced that AdWords rolled out device-level bid adjustments for tablet for everyone, but when I go into my campaign settings, it's the way it's always been, with no ability to adjust for tablet. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, or is there perhaps some kind of setting I have to turn on?

I am so excited about this change, seeing as our cost-per-conversion on tablets is always twice what it is on desktop, and not having control over it was maddening.

Yeah, expanded text ads are out. I jumped on those the very same day.
Anyway, good to see I'm not the only one with the problem and that Wordstream probably jumped the gun.

I'm not seeing the change either, even after creating a new test campaign. If I had to guess, Wordstream either jumped the gun or this is a phased rollout on Google's part. Maybe just keep checking back or reach out to Google support to see if they can enable it for your account? If you have a Google account manager, they may be a great resource for this too! I totally get the frustration of not being able to adjust bids for tablet. Exciting that we can finally do that.
On a related note, I can confirm that expanded text ads should be rolled out (at least I saw it in Moz's account), which is one of the major changes Google announced earlier this year:

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I hope knowing that you're not alone is at least a comfort!

Intermediate Adwords Course
I've got a decent understanding of Adwords however want to now take it to another level. Is there a course anyone can recommend that enables me to understand Adwords thoroughly to an expert level? I would classify myself as an intermediate at this point with a good foundational understanding, but far short of comprehensive. I'm looking for a video course and allow me to understanding everything to a deep level and how to execute strategies that can be effective.

Good Adwords resources/ Guides
I'm going to be taking over the PPC for my company. A 3rd party currently does it but I have done a review and they have not been doing a great job ( I spotted a few very basic mistakes), so we want to switch it to in house I have experience with PPC, and I'm confident on the basic of it, but I was looking for a good (recent) PPC resource or guide so I can make sure I'm doing it right, basicly a ppcmoz 😉 For example current the campaigns are set to accelerated, but I have been told that is very wasteful, but the 3rd party explanation is:"We set the campaigns to be accelerated to avoid missing out on potential sales. These can be set to standard if you wish however there is a higher chance that sales could be missed." Which is correct?

Adspert and bid management tools.
Hi, Just a quickie. Has anyone on here used Adspert, or a similar bid management tool? We are currently trialing it, but I have mixed feelings about it. Most of our campaigns have the option of using conversion optimiser and I wonder if I would be better using the Google tools. What are your thoughts? Thanks Steve

Whoa! Newsletter Subscription Form in Adwords Ad??? How can I do this?
I just googled the term "Mobile Lead Gen" and found this ad: http://cl.ly/260X3f0t1z1j1R1m212d Sweet! It has the subscription form signup directly within the Google Ad. Looks like Chrome even pre-populated my email address in the form. Does anyone know how to set this up within Adwords? I've never seen that option before. wXOGJ

Adwords "Display Network" tab buggy?
Anyone else notice the new Display Network tab in Google Adwords is buggier than a cheap NY motel bed? Everytime I load it in firefox I end up twiddling my thumbs for several minutes before hard closing the program. Very frustrating morning... In case anyone else is feeling this pain, I just tried it in opera and it finally loaded ok.

Your Google AdWords account has been permanently suspended for repeated violation of AdWords or Landing Page and Site policies in this or a related account.
My client nor I received any warning. We even had a google adwords team optimize the account and my rep does not yet know the reason for the ban. Not sure if its related but their google organic rankings dropped significantly at the same time. https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164786 Any advice here? Do these Questions get indexed by google? I will ask my client if I can disclose the domain. Is there any way around a permanent ban? They were spending 50K per month. Is this enough to have any clout?
