HI there.. I have never used Adwords till today and wanted to use it now for one of my new website. I had a offer from Google Analytics with 50$ coupon of Adwords and I just used it while adding my credit card. The coupon got through and in MY ACCOUNT in Adwords, it shows 45$ ,as 5$ was activation fees. I also had added my website and my ad and my keywords. But till now,I dont see anything being reflected in my account. Neither any money deduction or any clicks or anything.. I have no idea, how and what works in Adwords. Im really frustrated now. Kindly help me. Im waiting..
What period of time are we talking about here? Adwords reporting isn't real-time - there's a delay of up to 3 hours. Plus they may want to review your account before it goes live, which can take a few days, they seem to do this more and take longer over it lately.
I am facing same problem.Any solution?My account have $55.But,no any impression.But,from adword page,I informed,my account is active.
These days, it's a buyer's market. There is more competition than ever before, and more ways to reach customers than ever before. You can't just spray the world with advertising, it isn't cost-effective... Advertising today must be carefully targeted. A skateboard shop can't expect to run a commercial on a national network during Matlock and expect to get any customers from it. It's true that you have to spend money to make money, but that money must be well-spent. Throwing money away, is simply throwing money away. You have to reach people who are likely to become your customers... People who live in your area. What you need, is a direct hit! Why flyers? Nobody likes advertising... It's that simple. You invest in extra-loud TV commercials, in the middle of the most-watched shows, and they use their DVR to fast-forward right past them. You pay for expensive advertising space in the newspaper, and they don't bother to read the advertisements. You spend a small fortune on telemarketing calls, and they hang up on them. You put your last pennies into online advertising, and the only people who see your banner live in Siberia. So what makes flyers different? In a word, permanence. You don't have the option of not looking at the door to your house, it's right in front of you! Sure, you can take a flyer and throw it away, but you have to look at it and touch it to do that. And the truth is, it's probably not actually going to get thrown away. How many things have you intended to throw away, that you ended up seeing again and again sitting on an end-table or in the pile of mail you brought in? If someone gets your flyer, they're going to see it. And chances are, they're going to see it again. Even if your Chinese Takeout flyer doesn't put them in the mood when they first see it, they're going to be in the mood eventually, and when they are, they're going to remember that flyer laying around.
I have no idea, what u guys are saying abt , BIDDING Whats that in Adwords ?? And yes, my ad is active,as it says in the adwords panel. Where am i going wrong ??
Seriously mate, you've just asked what Bidding is in Google Adwords. Here is what you need to do: 1) READ ALL THE GOOGLE INFORMATION ON SETTING UP ADWORDS, USING THE SYSTEM, AND WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT!!!!! 2) Then read some more forum posts on things that you've learned from Google - to expand your knowledge base about things like Quality score 3) Then start using Adwords
Listen, if you don't even know what bidding means with regards to adwords you're in the wrong place - you obviously need to learn all the basics of adwords - which is a lot to learn. How can you expect someone to take the time to teach you all that if you can't take the time to read up on it?!?! All you'll get here is small pieces of info and you need to know how to set up an account - seriously, just go read the adwords pages - it'll take a couple of hours and you'll know a lot more!
I would like to suggest you to go through Google Adwords Tutorial- www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/ visit this page and lean all the things about Google Adwords. One more suggestion, without knowing anything don't start a new thing. Read it then use it.
the more you know the better you will do with your advertisements with google. I mean you want to know your market and your niche. Otherwise you my as well go to any non profit organization and just donate. Sorry to be so hard on ya just don't make any sense to me. Especially in a hard global economy.
