ModX producing 404's when used with Adwords

    So I setup a new page on ModX and plug it into Adwords. The new page works just fine (using SEO friendly URLs) and from my Adwords dashboard, when I click on the ads from there it takes me to the intended target. Once Google starts serving the ads in the SERPs, all of the ads served lead to a 404 page on my site.

    Has anyone run into this before? Haven't been able to google myself up a solution to what's going on. Thanks.

      Have you compared the target URL's from within you dashboard an the one the ad section?

        Yep. While I'm in the adwords interface, I can click on the ads that I create to test them - they do in fact go to the correct page.

        It's something google does with the ads on the actual search engine that has to be causing the problem.
