I've been doing Adwords for quite a while now, but have noticed a few of the ads that appear have a completely different text to the one I've set up , am I missing something here or does google just slot in their own version when they feel like it ?

Just wondered whether anyone else has noticed this ?

are you saying your ad has different text or the ad of other companies?

i know that google displays 2  variations of your ad depending on where it shows

Steve, did you setup the adwords yourself?

if you haven't set this up yourself this'll be the reason and problem solved. if you have set it up yourself you should know why it's doing it.

what's the difference?

[Steve Chapman]

I set the ads up myself and they have been running a long time and bring in alot of work , I never allow them on content network just google search

I must admit I don't monitor them as much as I should, but know what the ads should say and the text is sometimes completely made up but with my business name and website,

Sometimes the ads are quite good so I'm not complaining but curious why this is happening and also whether I'm paying for this or not.

Just wondered with google changing things around whether it's a new thing they are doing ?

next time you search tell us what comes up, and what you put in so expect.

there is a way to get it to show the keyword you're shown for which may be what is happening but you'd know about this. what you'd put in it something like this in the header "looking for a {keyword}" and then when someone googles cheap carpet cleaner or low cost carpet carpet, the ad would show as "looking for a low cost carpet cleaner"

[Steve Chapman]

I know what your saying and it isnt that exactly, its like someone else has written a completely different ad and stuck my details on it.

I haven't changed my ads for quite a while and haven't authorized any changes so cant see why it should happen.

The only thing i can think is maybe ive ticked ( or not ticked ) a box that lets google experiment with your ads and thats what im seeing every now and then, either that or im just losing my marbles
