Anyone noticed their AdWords ads aren't showing up? I turned on Content Matching 2 weeks ago and ever since than I cant seem to find my ads on Google at times. I can take my top 20 keywords and go 5 pages in and not see them. Google still reports they are being served but no matter what I do I cant find them. When I search several hours later they appear on the first page usually around the #5 spot. From nothing to #5. Strange. I kept my bid the same (.10) could this be an issue? Seems that once I turned on CM I get buried. Anyone? -PK
Are you getting anywhere close to your daily spending limit? Maybe it throttles them back because of the added volume of impressions you get from content matching.
The spending increased because of the additional traffic from CMing but no where near my daily budget. Would they turn off the ads because of increased impressions??? I average about 180,000 impressions per day. I would think Google can handle that. Maybe increasing my minimum bid might help.
Maybe the overall bids for the keywords has been going up, so maybe you are pushed down. You could test it I guess and disable the CM portion without changing anything else, and see if you appear in the search results again.
Or perhaps others have bid higher and then they meet there max budget your ads move up. Hard to say, I certainly haven't gotten the nuances of google figured out... but I'm here to learn Chris andrews.com
Our AdWords ads aren't showing either. We just started on the 29th and we don't see any impressions. We are on a tight budget, but the ads should at least show once so we know they are working right? The current daily budget is about 1/4th of what AdWords "recommends" but we should at least get our ads shown right? I am confused, please help. Thanks.
I am having a similar problem in that my Adword ads aren't appearing. I have a daily budget of £5.00 at first to check how this works and the status of my keywords is Moderate. When I click on estimate traffic for the keywords I intend to use the estimate clicks/day is only 0.3 or something ridiculous like that. Does anyone here know where I may have gone wrong?
No lie but about 1hr 15mins after I made the post saying my ads weren't appearing I get a welcome e-mail from Google. Then about an hour ago I noticed a cheeky ad hiding at the bottom of the adwords column I take it that the stats relating to impressions don't update that quick?
