Yesterday we reported on developers complaining their AdWords API tokens were not working any more.

Truth is, this is a wide spread crack down by Google.

An AdWords representative, I’ve confirmed the identity to be true, commented explaining this is part of their quality checks and thus have disabled many developers from using the AdWords API.

He said:

Obviously, this is not going to be fun for those who were disabled that need to run their campaigns daily and are losing customers, business and money.
