Hi,

I've got a question about the AdGroup performance reports aggregated Hourly by date.

There seems to be missing data. I have a campaign with a number of ad groups. If I aggregate the ad group data together to give essentially the campaign data but on an hourly basis I see a consistent rise in impressions from about 16:00 through to 20:00. I then get no data. I think it's a little suspicious that I'm getting around 6000 impressions for this campaign at 20:00 and then presumably 0 impressions after that.

I've then run a campaign performance report again hourly by date and the data in there seems to back up the ad group hourly data. Problem is that at 21:00 I drop to 0 impressions. Ad scheduling is not enabled. Other than a competitor completely hammering my keyword bids and therefore meaning my ads aren't shown is there any other explanation?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers
