Hi David,

Thanks for replying back. Well regarding the values changed, if you checked
BizDesk interface in the "campaign manager", and expanded the customer ->
Campaign to see how many "Requests" and "clicks" certain Ads aquired so far.
These are the values that I'm referring to. When the status of an AD is
changed from "Active" to "Inactive", and after a certain period of time (not
immediately, still not measured) you would notice the the "Requests" and
"Clicks" values are ZERO.

I hope that clarifies what values I was referring to.

Regards,
Omar
