Just like everything else in google, they stink in all fields, i found that adsense could be a great way to make some money, but later i also found that i'm only receiveing 5% to 15% from every click... when they claim to pay 50%, i've done some tests that prove it. That's why there are so many niches with advertisers paying on average $10 or $20 per click and you hardly get $1 from adsense. But that ok... already knew that and i don't needed to test it. Now i tried the adwords, I started 5 campaigns from various niches, i even got in less than 10hours over than 40k impressions and many clicks, then i started 5 new campaigns, all from various niches and now i don't get a single impression, campaigns are active, i even made $5 max bid for every click and raised my daily budget to $100 when the max bid for my keywords is somewhere around $2,50. Waited days and days and i still have no impressions, No clicks, nothing.... not to mention the SLOW interface. Started even more campaingns, and same results. a Big LOL for google Adwords? no thanks
I sometimes wonder about adwords and i do believe you but is their a better choice and if so what is it.
sure... most keywords between 7 and 10 i remember i had one of my first campaigns where i had really low QS (1 and 4) and i still got many impressions. I still have there $70 and i just want to spend it and close my account... i'm just trying to find out a way to spend that money and i don't know how lool
well, I'm sorry it's not working for you - if your KW has QS of 7 - 10 then it isn't what I thought it may be (thought with you having adsense sites you'd been 'slapped', but obviously not).
yeah, what pisses me off is that i have everything ok, i read a lot about similar problems, and i don't know how this worked fine in the beginning when i was bidding 5 and 10 cents i got so many impressions and clicks, and know i'm biding $1+ and i get no results, not a single impression.... lol. Did they banned my hosting server lol? If so, how come they aprove my campaigns, i got no notifications or warnings...
Are you using 'post pay' option? If yest then maybe that is the problem. Due to a lot of $ fraud Google have made some stupid 'security' update, which is causing accounts to stop working without any visible reson. Also have a look on one of your keywords and check the status (hover this small spyglas and check what Google have to say about it) of you keywords/campaign.
hummm... yes i'm using post payments, and i did a lot of payments last week and i think my visa must be near the limit. Do they grab some sort of info from banks?? trying to know if i have xx amount to pay the next bill? and if someone doesn't have it they block the ads? loool. I still have almost $70 to spend in my account
No, they can't check how much $$ you have on your acc. If you changed the daily limit recenty then 100% it's this stupid security bug. Contact Google support. They will remove caps manually and it should be fine.
Hey there, In case of all of your campaign target to one URL, it is said that just one campaign is displayed your ads. please check out this point!
no its wrong, if u know how to manage bid and attactive adv. and if u spend 25$ dollar in a day and if u get 1 order then its useful.
When Your acc. will have a long history, and You spend some $, You will have something like reputation and You will pay much less each keyword.
RTFM: http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/text/index.html and you won't be disappointed at the end.
