Google Ads updates typically cover topics like user privacy protection, performance optimization, and new targeting and automation options for advertisers. Recently, important changes such as Privacy Sandbox, FLoC, Performance Max Campaigns and steps such as ending the use of third-party cookies in the Chrome browser stand out.

When you target multiple countries in google ads, do you have them all in the same campaign and ad group, or do you do different ad groups / campaigns for each?

The more variations the better means multiple ads. If you can handle such tasks then it would be good for you.

Google Tammy’s is 100% not needed. It is likely the affiliate link you are using is just blocked.

The thing is, when I create a new campaign it got impressions and clicks for a few hours and then completely stopped.
Now in the preview and diagnostics tool it shows only 2 things - either:
"Your ad is probably being shown at times, but was not shown for this particular diagnosis."
or
"Your ad shares a similar Display URL with a competing, higher ranking ad."
I know the bids and budget are enough, because just a week ago it showed the ads with lower bids and budget without any issues. If it was too low, it would only show the "Your ad shares a similar Display URL with a competing, higher ranking ad."
The affiliate link can't be blocked as I see other people have ads up for that website.

I have the same problem, my ads dont even start to show and i use landing page and not direct linking, For the past few days I have been trying to run ads as a affiliate in health niche there are like 20 ads for the keywords I target and they dont have problems. I get messages like altought your ad is showing its rank is not high enough to be in the first page, the ad rank is too low and cant triger ads, ad is probably shown but not now and similar, if i type it in google my ad is like on 3rd page or doesnt show. at first i set max bid , then i created different campaign and bidding strategy is clicks without max bid and now i have the same problem. the ad strenght is good and it doesnt show me any issues of what could cause it.
Did you solve it?

Strangely, the solution was to jack the prices higher (like 3x).
Just a week or 2 ago, $15 max cpc was more than enough. I jacked it up to $50 max CPC and it started showing without any issues (average CPC I get is still below $1 tho)

updates are now complete ?
I also tried with this but it keeps asking me a goal when creating a campaign and cannot continue without selecting one:

You can select a goal like pageview and just ignore all of the messages to install a tag. If everything else is okay, the "Google tag: inactive" warning will disappear once you get some impressions and clicks

I'm disappointed in Google.

Even if I select this, they ask "Choose goals you would like to focus on" can't go further without selecting one.

If no conversion goal is created in the ad account, it will still make you choose a goal and create a conversion tag for it, to try to push you to install in.

Click on the blue "ad preview and diagnosis" link. There, put in your desired country and device type. It should show you if you ad is being shown or no.

I think I figured out why it just showed "Your ad is probably being shown at times, but was not shown for this particular diagnosis." and never show it.
It's a fairly popular affiliate program and there are some very big guys competing for the keywords.
Every time I boost the max CPC, it showed my keyword for a few hours and then 0 impressions again.
Created new campaign with higher max CPC, showed again a few hours and then 0 impressions again.
It got to a point where I paid 40 cents on avg for a click, but max CPC was set to $100. Right now, even if I put max CPC at $100, it doesn't show my ad.
The other guys are just outcompeting me with huge bids, even if it means paying for the occasional max CPC clicks from google.
The Keyword search volume for May is 8000 in total(4k desktop, 4k mobiles) for a few countries combined, but it is growing very quickly.
@IFoundYou2000 do you know if there is any way to compete in that scenario with the big boys? Right now I created my own landing page and put ads up for that, to see how much higher CPC cost is and if I will get enough clicks for any conversions.
