I've started a new account with adwords and for a month now I have been trying to get my adds to run with no luck. When I first set this up I had a low QS and my adds were not running. The big G didn't see what angle I was going for so they did not approve my adds. I tailored my landing page and keywords to their liking and now all of my keywords receive a "7" and it says its O.K. Now I get the message that I have exceeded my budget without any clicks or impressions. My adds are not running. Diagnostics says that everything is good and I have my budget set to $100 for the month and google says my click price is .05 cents per click on all my keywords. I'm now running in budget optmizer mode and everything seems good. After about a week of this I decided to switch to another credit card to see if maybe that was a problem although the last one was hit for the $5 activation fee with no problem. So, I've exceeded my budget without spending anything because I can't spend anything because my adds are not running. My bids are very low and my budget is fairly high. Any idea's before I try out Yahoo??? Thanks for your time!! Mm
I have two suggestions: 1. Raise your bids. After the impressions start coming in, slowly decrease the bids. 2. Call Google. I think the number is 866-2GOOGLE. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply! Google says my cpc is .05 cents and I set it up to $1.50 to see if that would do anything but for the last week it hasn't done any good. I ran across the number for google a few days ago but after reading several places that you will just be on hold all day with out talking to anyone I thought I would bring my problem to the forum. I'll call them Monday and see what I can find out. Thanks! Mm
Actually I called Google this morning. After pressing the right buttons I got connected right to a rep. Was pretty quik with no waiting.
Are these keywords actually getting any impressions? It could be that the keywords are too longtail or vague?
