Ad not showing up on Content Network

    Hi all,

    Recently I started a new campaign for a blog I'm running. I wrote an ad, and enabled both search and content networks. Traffic has been slower than I figured for a highly popular topic matter, but here is the real kicker: After several weeks, a big fat ZERO is in the content category. Zero impressions, zero clicks. What could be the reason? (Yes Content is indeed enabled).

    Any help or hints :confused:

    Thanks :)

    Your bids might not be high enough to show on the content network.

    It's probably worth a support submission to Google, however, to see what they say (sometimes they're actually helpful).

    To get a lot of play in the content network you want an average postion of 1 - 4. Anything outside of that severely limits your content network ad distribution.

    Reason - there are a lot of pages in the content network with 1 ad block that displays 4 ads.

    Still, you probably should be getting at least a few impressions. Have you contacted the big G?

    Have not contacted the "Big G" yet - but sounds like a good idea. I would think I would have gotten some impressions at least by now.
