With your help I have “cracked the code” on the Google slap. I’m back up and running.

In the process I found out something very interesting.

Even with the new campaign, pointing to the same problem page, I was getting “inactive” projections and $1.00 – $5.00 minimum bids with the traffic estimator.

So I went on Google, did a searched on my keywords, and found the top ad that was displaying. Clicked on the ad, got the competitor’s URL, and entered THIS into my ads. Just pointing it to a different domain suddenly activated all the keywords at the usual low rates. Then I knew the problem was not the keywords, but the landing page.

Then, I went back and changed the URL to point to a new page within MY domain. Presto, I’m back up and running.

The point: when you enter your ad text and landing page URL Google spiders the site right away. It either passes muster or it doesn’t. My minipage / opt-in form got the slap. My fully loaded sales page with opt-in form made it through OK with the exact same keyword set.

Thanks for your help… I hope the additional info helps too.

I would try just pausing that campaign, start a new one, use the new optimized landing page links, and start over.
