Hello how many of members here use content network ads? I been testing this and the numbers are a joke like for the past 2 hours.. 44,583 Imp/ 0.4% CTR
be glad its CPC then . Ive tried content network and I've learned that you should be happy with a lower CTR than a higher one. If they convert, dont worry about the CTR too much.
well,,, just keep in mind the webmasters that promoting these ads, they suffer with a low CTR.. so to not upload many words off topic.
Try setting up 2 campaigns: 1 for search, 1 for content network. Experiment with ad copy to see if you can get better results.
shoot, now after 6 hours of running ads I get no Content ad views at all.. I checked the settings and its checked...
It can take up to 24 hours sometimes for ads to start to appear in the content network. Also, if you're bidding $0.05 or lower you may not get impression in that network - Google tends to favor higher bidding ads since they are splitting the $ with the webmaster.
