    Inactive for search
    Increase quality or bid 9.00 to activate OK
    Minimum bid: 9.00

    Anyone see keywords of this kind, where quality score is OK, but the keyword is Inactive for search

    I have never seen a $9 bid. :)

    Is your niche full of advertisers and they are trying to tell you your ad simply won't be showing up?

    Run the ad diagnostics tool. That will tell you why.

    Common reasons I have found are:

    You have the same or similar URL as another ad with a higher rank
    Trademark laws dont allow your ad to be show in your country



    As I said, the ad diagnostics tool will tell you more.

    If diagnostic tool won't say too much for you it's probobly the bid, try bid higher.

    Oh, it's Inactive for search?

    If your Quality Score is good, then it should tell you what your minimum required bid is. What does it say?

    And $0.20 is not a lot. I'd say just increase your bid.

    i pay on average only .13$ to get 8K clicks.,

    Actually., the funny part is:
    The quality score Shows as ok for some keywords ., But the keyword is Inactive for Search :D

    Yes, but what does it say UNDER "Inactive for search"?
    ie:

    Inactive for search
    Increase quality or bid €0.23 to activate

    It always says "Increase quality or bid €XXX to activate" under it.
    Can you please post a screenshot?
