Estimated Avg. CPC Problem

    I'm setting up a campaign and the Estimated Avg. CPC price for every keyword I've put in reads $0.00 in the Traffic Estimator. Normally each keyword varies in price and I've never seen everything display $0.00 before.

    Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this an error?

    That is an error for sure! Try again and you should get this error "Must be at least $0.01"

    Try the Google Keyword tool. As I mentioned in another thread, it provides much more accurate data.

    I've tried the AdWords Keyword Tool and it gives me accurate readings, but I don't know how much I'm paying in AdWords itself while setting up my campaign. Each keyword that reads $0.00 also says it's "Active", but I'd like to have a general idea of what I'm paying per click.

    Has anyone else seen that before? I tried logging out and then back in, but I still get the same thing.

    Edit: I've gone ahead and started a campaign and it's been running for about 6 hours. 0 impressions and 0 clicks, but all keywords appear to be active, but still show $0.00 for each. Very weird.

    Howdy Chris,

    Sounds like an AdWords glitch.

    Why not email AdWords support and get them to look in to it for you.

    definetly a glitch. Just set your bids based on ROI and see if traffic flows.
