Adwords: "your bid is too low for this keyword auction"

    Hey All,


    I'm having a little problem that I can't seem to solve myself. I started promoting a CPA offer with Adwords on a quite competative market last week. I made several adgroups with about 30-60 keywords each just to see what keywords get traffic and conversion and should get their own adgroups.
    Now what I see is that pretty almost all keywords get a message that my ad isn't being displayed because "your bid is too low for this keyword auction" when I do a mouseover on the magnifying glass.

    The weird thing is that the more general keywords DO get reasonable amounts of clicks but when I use Google Ad Preview and enter any of my keywords I don't get to see my Ad on any page. There are many of my keywords that SHOULD get a fair amount of traffic, but they don't get any impressions at all.

    I started bidding at about $2,- per keyword so I think that should be sufficient. I then tried upping my bids to 3 - 4 dollars per click but I still get that same message on a mouseover and nada impressions or clicks on most keywords. My Qualityscore for all keywords are OK to GREAT.

    My budget is at $2000,- from day 1 so that can't be the problem.

    I'm really lost as what's going on here. I have never seen this message on any of my other campaigns so I really don't have a clue as what this might be.

    Who can help me?


    Thank you!!!

    With a budget at $2000 I'd imagine they'd answer your questions pretty quick?
