Clicking AdWords Ads Results in an Error

Some AdWords users are reporting problems today with their AdWords ads. AdWords users have been reporting that while their ads are being displayed like they should, when a user clicks on those ads they are greeted by a "Server Error" message from Google stating that "the server encountered an error and is unable to complete your request." AdWords users have indicated that even though visitors are making it to the destination page, they are being charged for those clicks.

One user has indicated that Google has responded to his inquiry stating that there is a system problem and AdWords advertisers will be credited for clicks generated during this downtime.
