    man I am lost here on adwords I have tried 3 different project
    and I find no matter what Pick it seem impossible to get traffic.

    I started a niche term with keywords I search in google,
    the showed only 2 ads presently showing.

    But adwords says Inactive for search
    Increase quality or bid $10.00 to activate ..

    What 10.00 when only 2 ads show...

    it depends on your keywords selected as well as you landing page. i would need to see your keywords as well as your landing pages to give you a better answer.

    Odds are it's your landing page and chances are your domain has be slapped.

    You need a new domain name and a real site attached to your landing page.

    I've you post this "domain ban/slap" theory a few times...what's that theory based on? Google reevaluates QS's at least once per month - there's no point in constantly starting over with new domains.

    And as I mentioned in another thread, at the present time having a stand alone landing page (that meets the QS guidlines) works fine. If that wasn't the case there are hundreds of thousands of people paying $10/click 24/7 as millions of queries return AdWords ads that lead to landing pages.

    Ok On the at least $10.00 a click thing .......

    Now some have told me (like the post above) it was because the domain I used was banned.
    But Adwords said it's because my host ip is in the UK and I am
    targeting only the usa.

    Now that stupid as far as I can see...

    A high min bid ($5 - $10) is a result of a poor quality score.

    In order to reduce that bid number you'll want to work on improving the elements Google uses to determine the quality score.

    Good info here.

    Keep in mind that if you make changes to landing page it could take up to one month for Google to come and reevaluate it's quality and reduce your bid. See How often do you visit landing pages and update Quality Scores? for more info on that aspect.

    One other thing - who at AdWords told you that having a site hosted in the UK and targeting the US was impacting your quality score? I've done a lot of international targeting and have never noticed/felt that targeting other countries was impacting my QS.
