    I think a lot has changed since I used Adwords a couple of years ago. :eek:

    I am trying to get my ads to show for a few keywords that I have geotargeted, but so far, no impressions, no clicks.

    I used the keyword tool to find ones that would give me a 1-3 position for my budget. I set my price a little higher than what the keyword tool recommends, but when I check to see if the ad is showing, it indicates that my rank is not high enough to show on the first page of results WTF! :confused:

    Why is the keyword tool telling me a price for a 1-3 position, but I show up on the 10th page of results? WTH is the point of the keyword tool?!

    Also, how the heck are you supposed to figure out what to bid for CPM ads? I mean I could literally be here all week trying to figure this Adwords out! :mad:

    Yep it has been a while haha just realized that the selected default date for reports was Nov 15.... :eek: If anyone else has the issue of no impressions showing up, then you may want to check out the report date is actually the current day.
