    Is there support or a forum for DP advertisers?

    Not a separate one at this point, but you can create a thread in this forum (Suggestions & Feedback).

    Ok. I just didn't know if ads are being worked on. I can't seem to edit keywords or add keywords to a new CPC ad.

    We did rewrite all the JavaScript they use today, so you are probably seeing an old cached version in your browser. Just do a hard reload when you are on the edit page and it should fetch the new version from the server. Let me know if that works.

    I guess my bid is to low if I don't see any clicks/impressions yet?

    Reporting is in realtime. The ad setup screen should tell you if your bid is so low it would never run.

    Hmmm, maybe I need to change my keywords or ad a new CPC ad to test.

    BTW, CPC ads do not track impressions (as it says at the top of the reports page). Since they are keyword based and not a specific ad based. If 10 people bid on a keyword that's linked, you wouldn't want to log 10 impressions (the URL someone is sent to is only determined AFTER the click, not before).

    BTW, I checked to make sure your stuff was setup properly and it is... BUT... I noticed all the keywords you picked have an individual keyword within your phrase that other's are bidding on. You can never have more than 1 ad in a single post, so you are also competing against people who bid for *just* "hosting" since their keyword will be within 100% of the posts your keywords are in.

    I guess I should be more specific... it's not IP unique address based, it's unique computer/browser based (which in 99% of cases is the same thing). But... if someone clicks an ad and then changes IP address and clicks again, you wouldn't be charged. And it also works in reverse... if someone switches physical computers, but is on the same IP address you could be charged (there's no way for the system to know it's the same person if they hop to a different computer).

    Generally we err on the side of giving free traffic. If the system thinks there is a possibility of it being the same person, it's free. Or even if it thinks *maybe* it's a non-human clicking (for example if someone has an addon that blocks referring URL, we give those clicks for free as well since we can't tell you exactly where the user clicked from).

    I overlooked the User Agent the first time or I would have realized it.

    Thanks
