    I have set up both a 468x60 Banner ad and also a Text Link ad. I have selected the forums I have it to show on and also set the main bid price and also topped up some of them with the "Override Bid" so that thy all say 75%. I need some tips on things like...

    • Roughly how many keywords are best to choose?
    • Roughly how many forums is best to choose to show ads? (Is just selecting all best?)
    • Best daily bid to set, etc..
    • And anything else.
    I have added $25 onto my advertising account to advertising on DigitalPoint.com have set the amount for each the Banner advertising and also Text Ads. My credit doesn't seem to be getting used though because (I guess) my campaign is set up to the best it could be to get my ads shown. I added the credit and set it up about 2 weeks ago or something and wanted to give it sometime, but without even $0.01 being used yet, I thought I would ask for some advice. :D Thanks! :p

    Looks like it's just a matter of you not enabling your ads yet. The "Enable" option on this page should do it: https://advertising.digitalpoint.com/advertiser?action=ads

    As far as recommendations for what forum to run banner ads and what keywords to use, that's really only something you can answer since it's dependent on your site...

    aha, yeah, they just needed Enable, lol. Thanks for the help :p
    Ill work on choosing better keywords as I go on. What about how many though? Is there a point when there can be too many keywords on the one ad?

    Really just depends on the ad... Obviously best to just use relevant keywords.

    I know this is a Webmaster, SEO, etc.. Niche and mine in Gaming / Xbox, but just getting used to how to use the advertising system just now before I add my other websites.

    or Can we benefit from SEO wise as well as getting visitors from the clicks?

    No, the ads are nofollow... There is no benefit as far as the link goes.
