    Hello,

    I just started in the world of Google Adwords and Clickbank and had one major question that I need help with. According to some people, it is best to create 2 separate campaigns, one for Google network, and one for content network. I created the one for the Google network and it seems to be doing fine. Its been 5 days, and I have just under 2% ctr and a few conversions already. My question is I created a content only campaign and it doesn't seem to be working. It has been 5 days, and I haven't had one impression. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Don't try advertising on content network yet. Try focusing more CTR and conversion on search network only. If you're having thousand dollars budget, then you may try content.

    I do have a pretty high budget. I was just wondering why my content only campaign wasn't taking off. I even tried it on auto bid, and nothing. No impressions at all. Anyone?

    Either you're not bidding enough or you need to give it time to be 'manually' reviewed. Which won't happen at the weekend.

    depends on how did you setup your content...

    Did you make themed adgroups, or did you just mirror your search campaign (Wrong method).

    How high is your min CPC?

    Are you site targeting or keyword targeting?

    Using text ads or image ads?

    Content is a much different beast than search and does not work the same. You can easily get burned in content. Do some research and learn how to setup and structure a content campaign before proceeding.
