Default Google Adwords Going Nuts

After the very recent Google AdWords "update" some of my campaigns are going nuts and several of the well performing phrases even with CTR of 4%+ have been suspended all together. Just when I ranted on Yahoo for a bad Panama transition, this!

I'm reading on other forums how hundreds of advertisers are affected. Geez, well done Google.

This should be in the PPC forum. In any case, WMW has a long thread on this, and recent issues were a short term technical glitch. I saw it for a short time on a few of my keywords, but it has already resolved itself on those.

You're telling me...I got 2 clicks on one impression. Later I got 3 clicks on one impression on another term...and they charged me over 2 bucks a click
