Why aren't my ads getting clicks?

any advice on getting peopel to click on your adwords ads? key phrases or words that help get clicks?

i have an ad that has thousands of impressions and only 5 clicks. not sure what is wrong.

 

You need to be more specific. Post your ad here, give the sample of your keywords, etc. It's hard to tell why. Sometimes the reason you have too many impressions and a few clicks is because the bid is not high enough. Your ad ends up being at the bottom of sponsored ads and not a whole lot of people like to look there.

 

By the way try AdCenter as well, it can be that their results will differ from AdWords'.

 

Ya we need a bit more information to help you.

 

i am nervous about posting my ad because i dont want others to steal my niche. how can i add more info without doing that?

 

try using high quality score keywords and exact match ones it will definitely improve ROI and reduce CPC

 

Niche? Buddy! I can pretty much guarantee that there are not many "Niches" left out there. So the "Niche" you are trying to protect can be copied when people see the ad on google, lol. You need to make your product super strong backed up with quality service. Still I agree with you posting your ad here is not a great idea. You can hire someone really cheap on Odesk or Elance to prepare your ad for you. You might want to try that.

 

Totally agree. I think every niche is pretty much used these days.

 

From my experiences it all depends on the locations of the ads in regards to the text and information on the website.

 

i had same problem a few months back but i polished my keywords for heavy traffic and finally got improvements, polish yours too...

 

Are you targeting the keywords that someone who is looking to make a purchase would type into google search?
