Adwords ad still not showing...

Hi, i decided to try adwords as i always used other sources to get clicks. So, i opened an account with 50 dollars as they recommend for starters. The system changed it to 150$ Argentine Money as im from Argentina (although i want to operate in dollars). Now, ive set up the banner and the amount per click: .16 US Dollars (.50 Argentine Money). The keyword is basically Iphone, not alone of course but many variables.

I got a message that i had to change the ad's description as i had included an invalid word (iphone Hacks) so i went into my account and simply change it for Iphone Tricks. Its been a week now and my ads are not showing. So i have some questions to more experienced adwords users:

- Is my ad paused because its being reviewed again?
- Is my ad not showing because the amount per click is too low so im no competition? If so, what amount should i put?

Thanks, fuser

 

What does the diagnostic tool tell you?

 

Hi, it says "Your ads are showing as they should."

The thing is that when i was being reviewed, it said the same thing and the campaing was active and not on pause..

Thanks, fuser

 

uhm...i am almost certain "iphone" might be trademarked. Correct me if i am wrong ?!

 

HI, im not in the keyword "Iphone", it was an example... im in "Iphone Cases" for example... Is that not permitted?

Thanks, fuser

 

your ads may be showing in the inner pages of google, as your bid amount is too slow..btw..r u targeting to the specific geo location?

 

yes, USA only... should i not do that?

thanks eaverybody for the help!

It's probably slowed now that they think you're doing hacks which they don't like at all.
