Adwords Display {Placement} token not working?

Ok I set up a new display campaign last night and:



Anyone else have experience with {Placement} not working in Adwords? I have hundreds of clicks and NO idea where they came from Thanks adwords...
I got this traffic in just 4 hours in a pretty niche campaign so I think I'm a victim of click fraud...

I have never had any problem with the {placement} parameter with Adwords. It's doing perfectly fine on my end.

Firstly, I think you'd better send the Adwords support an email and ask them whether the dynamic parameters are case sensitive as I can see you're using {Placement} instead of {placement}. It might or might not be the problem, ask them directly or call their local support number here : Adwords Worldwide Phone Support

I find Adwords support is really top-notch, they are very specific and helpful toward any problem that you encounter.

Hope it helps.

I was using {placement} instead of {Placement} but it wasn't working, and I saw some website with {Placement} in their guide... so I tried changing it. Waiting for ad approvals again.

Thanks for the help!!!!

UPDATE: I'm on the phone and they're SUPER nice of course... but they've never heard of {placement} or any other tokens; they've never heard of ValueTrack. They just keep saying I can find my placements in the adwords interface. LOL

are you running affiliate offers or your own legit site? Curious why they're being so nice.
