Adwords Campaign says 'Active' - but no impressions in 36hrs???

[ferrisbueller]

Set up a campaign for a brand new product - that will sell !!! Google says it is active but I have had no impressions - nothing - nada !!

Emailed them but still no reply. This is 36 hrs now and I,m losing good commission !!! :mad:

Any ideas guys :confused:

There could be any number of reasons. I'll assume your keywords aren't so specific that no one has searched by them yet. Of course, you can test this by doing the search as well. Here are the top reasons why most PPC advertisers can't see their pay per click ad (http://www.payperclickreference.com/frequently-asked-questions/#13) (last FAQ on the page). Also, you can use Google's Ad Preview Tool (http://www.google.com/search?q=+&adtest=on) to help you find out why without costing yourself impressions or clicks. Good luck.

Check and make sure you are looking at TODAY in your stats.

How are your bids? Perhaps they are too low...

Increase your min. bid

I made that mistake before:o.

Is your display url the same as another high ranking ads one?

You could use Ad diagnose tool, and it will tell you if your keyword intrigue adrvertisement and tell you the why no advertisment is intrigued.

I found a few reasons for this:
Too low a bid
Higher-bidding (well, ranking*) ad from same domain (possibly the case if it's a referal url pointing to Amazon)
Trademarked keyword (eg. iPod)

If you hover your mouse over the little magnifier next to they keywords, you should get a tooltip telling you the status. Have a look :)

May I ask. are you purchase the activated adword account from someone or you pay yourself ? Somebody from DP in police station due to this. Quantan sold him a bad adword account with stolen credit card.

This is very often the case. Take a look at this article:

Campaign Active No Impressions (http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/adwords-great-quality-score-low-minimum-bids-but-no-impressions/)

Hope this helps.

Same has happened to me. There are no specific keywords targeted just several sites in my niche. My min max bid is 0.50 in UK so thats like 1 dollar!

help - I don't want a tenner just sitting in adwords doing nothing forever.

^^^ Dude, you have to look at the age of a post before you reply. :)

This post hasn't been active since Oct. 2007. I am sure the original poster has figured it out or moved on by now.

We don't want to bump old posts for no reason. :)

I have the same problem with ferrisbueller but I use the placement_target and I increased min bid to $4 but there is no anything happen.

Once I Increased my bids my impressions skyrocketed but it does like like 24 hours sometimes if your dealing with the content network opposed to search.
