All my ads in Adcenter have suddenly stopped running, and no ads or keywords have been disapproved?

Also my billing is in all good standing.

I know they were doing some sort of maintenance, anyone else seeing this going on? Or is it a ban of some sort?
 


lol who knows these days with YSM adcenter. And good luck finding out, their reps are akin to Walmart workers in terms of effectiveness and any sort of cognitive thinking

Based on my experience you were prob slapped
But not banned
 
I think Bing is going crazy with perma-slaps right now. All my accounts have the same symptoms. And I had the nerve to call of the support line and ask them why I wasn't getting any impressions anymore on a blatantly spammy campaign I was running and the guy told me my page broke all their rules, which I figured, but I also questioned him enough to learn that A. they are putting lifetime account/human being bans out but aren't pulling the "youve been banned" card, they are just allowing you to bid crazy high bids if you really want to, and B. that they have been cracking down on accounts the last month in preparation for a "huge March 25th update that we need everyone in compliance for."

What that actually means, your guess is as good as mine but I've noticed a huge crackdown in spammy advertisements in the past few weeks. Might have to spend some time actually building a 100% original website/marketing campaign. Booooooo.
 
Had a handful of compliant campaigns on two linked accounts -- setup a dating campaign (with full content LP) and got a manual review. Slapped, banned, whatever you want to call it.

All my campaigns have been paused for a bit but I got a email today that a bunch of ads got disapproved. I'd assume my account got a bannins but haven't checked yet...shits weak.
 
They have something called QBR which stands for quality based ranking, much like Quality Score, but they can't call it that.

This is the wording they send out :

Your account is currently affected by our Quality-based ranking (QBR), because the landing pages in your account do not contain enough unique content. Microsoft is striving to provide a relevant, positive and high-quality experience for search users. Pages that contain "stock" or syndicated content are not considered high-quality and will be affected by the above ranking. To resolve this, you will have to ensure that your ads are following our relevance and quality guidelines in the following link:

Relevance and Quality Guidelines

The FTC are running hot at the moment, and many of the things people are promoting are in the cross-hairs, flogs, farticles etc. so I can only suspect this is a pre-emptive move on the part of Adcenter, but that is just my opinion.
 
Yea its a mystery right now what their reasons are for increase/decrease in impressions

On the positive side, they just tweeted this today:

"Quality Score visibility is coming soon! Scale of 1 to 10 at the keyword level. Don"

Hopefully it will give some clue to how they are deciding whether things are relevant ot not.

Quality Score...uh I mean Quality Based Ranking

Having the same problem, no impressions in the last couple of weeks, talked to support tweeked my LP based on their suggestions got it out of review and was told it was running.

it took 2 days, now I have 9 freakin impressions with the updated LP, and get this I have a Quality Score of 8-10, bidding for top spot, but positioned at 7-9.

Was at 2-3 spot with 50K impressions/day, which was cool since I was bidding 5 cents.

So now Mr. Gates tell me why I'm no longer getting any fucking impressions??

Enough bitching, here is some info: until they roll out the Quality Scores in Adcenter in the campaign section, you can get at least get your number 1-10 when you run your keyword performance reports. (of course you'll be in the dark why)
