    Hi Guys,
    I wanted to start with PPC marketing and hence I got myself an adwords account, I jotted an interesting ads (title, matter etc) set my daily budget to 10 $ and max click to 4 cents (no geographical constraints, devices constraints etc whatsoever) then I used the keyword tool and added 20 keywords and keyword phrases both really competitive ones and less competitive ones and then I was expecting traffic ;) but to my horror I just managed to get 3 clicks, I want to know what am I doing wrong and how can I improve? I am damn amateur when it comes to adwords how should I go along with this :confused:

    4 cents is pretty ungodly low, at that rate I wouldn't expect to see hardly any traffic at all. Are there a lot of competitors that show up in the side bar when you search for the terms that you are bidding on?

    Also too hover over the little dialouge box next to the keyword to see if it is running. Also make sure that you quality score is green (at least 5/10). Second if you don't get any traffic try setting your bid a little higher, maybe 10c. If adwords says you don't meet the minimum bid to show up on first page, the chances of you getting traffic is very slim.

    I would research adwords a lot more before you jump in or else you will probably lose a lot of money.
