Sorry for dumb question folks... having a spot of bother with a campaign Its a new campaign I am running - deposited around £300. All was well until I exhausted funds for the daily budget I had set. SO I deposited some more money - now I cannot get my ads to trigger for love nor money. Every K/wood shows "This keyword is not triggering ads You have reached and exceeded your budget." It doesnt matter what I set my daily budget to - they will not trigger. Is there something I am overlooking. Quality Score is Great and CTR is 2.5 if that has any bearing. Any help appreciated
Have you checked if the campaign is active both on the campaign and group level? Additionally, if you have data on your CTR, it means that your ad is getting impressions.
Hi, thanks for replying yes campaign and Ad group is active. As I say its a new campaign that ran for around 6 hours (lots of impressioins and reasonable CTR) then ran out of budget, so I topped up. Now it wont trigger depsite have a lots of funds.
Hi yes the funds are showing. Rather strangely - started to show for 20 minutes and now stopped again. hmmmm maybe Yahoo isn't so bad
I have the exact same problem and I just couldn't figure it out .. First I tried to improve the quality ,then I tried to triple the bids and after that I choose the acceleration option .. Still nothing !
I have a similar problem. I'm new to adwords. I just tried creating a campain locally around where I live. It`s a Yoga ad I created hoping to attract people locally if they type in Yoga. I live in Milton Ontario, Canada One of the keywords I used was Yoga in Milton. I was hoping that it would bring up my ad. There are no ads, no competition either. Since there is no competition, I thought I would automatically get up there for low bid. I set my keywords to be active at the min price $.06 to make them active. But still, when I type the keyword, I don`t come up? Any ideas why no ad appears? How can I solve this? Thanks, Jason
Jason - I've just tried your phrase "yoga in milton" on the google ad preview tool and an ad for Yoga Classes in Milton does show (which I assume is you) - it doesn't show if I target my search to Canada, or to Canada, then Ontario, only when I specify Milton. This may be exactly what you want, or perhaps you've targeted too closely and should widen it to Ontario?
Magda. Thanks for your help. You wrote: Jason - I've just tried your phrase "yoga in milton" on the google ad preview tool and an ad for Yoga Classes in Milton does show (which I assume is you) - I don't get it. For some reason when I try to search this and type "yoga in Milton" nothing comes up. Although it is one of my keywords. Also the target audience I chase was a 10km circle around my local area yoga studio. So, is it possible that you who are most probably outside of my target area, find my ad? It does say, what`s written below and I have another one I`m split testing which is similar. But I don`t understand why I'm not finding it.

Could it be that google is not showing you your ads on purpose, as a part of their internal efforts to prevent click fraud?
I don't think so. Google is good though with handling click frauds unlike yahoo who counts nearly all of them.
Try looking for it the way I am . this is the tool google provides for checking your ad is showing in different regions/countries https://adwords.google.com/select/AdTargetingPreviewTool If I set the location to : Country Canada, it doesn't show. If I set the region to Ontario is still doesn't show, if I set the city to Milton - it's showing in the 'prime' position at the top of the listings. My guess would be that the problem lies in how google decides your location and if you look through a normal search, it doesn't think your IP is in Milton. Do you need to be so specific with your targeting? As you've added "in Milton" to your keyphrase, I think you're limiting yourself too much by specifying only searches IN Milton, rather than in Ontario.
Is it a good idea to raise one's daily budget very high like $1000/day or $10000/day if one's location is limited to a town of 20,000 people and only they can click. Is that a good strategy to get more impressions, even if you know in a small town, you're never going to get so many clicks that it's going to be a worry for your budget? Or is not a good idea to do that?
