CPM bid is too low

    I know this is a noob question, but I am trying to purchase ads for DP. I placed money in my account, set up the system so my ads will have a 75% chance to display, set up my daily amount and it says my CPM is too low. I've changed my max bid between $.50 and $3.00 to see if that was the problem. Then, I changed my daily amount to $30 to see if that is the problem. Is my daily too little?

    ETA: I am also using the Inline Text Link (CPC) option.

    Well, I show your account has no ads created on it... can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing exactly?

    Hi there, thanks for the quick response. I am trying to create an ad, which is when I get the error. I am creating an ad and when I click "Save," I get the "CPM bid is too low" error. Do you still need a SS? I can provide one if you want. I'm just not sure if I should post the ad creation screen with my info. The error is all I get when I click "Save." I removed the one keyword that is the highest of all the keyword costs and it still won't let me save yet all ads say I have a 75% chance of getting shown, so I'm assuming I am one of the higher bidders.

    The only thing I can think of is that I opened the ad creation screen before I added money to my account. Just throwing out ideas.

    Well the minimum CPM bid is $1.00, so just make sure it's not below that.

    OK, I see what happened. Just an FYI for others. I had opened my "Create an Ad" screen before I added funds. Added funds in a separate screen. Refreshed the original ad screen and now it went through fine. Thank you very much.
