    hi

    I really need some help/advice with setting up a Adwords campagne, with the current settings i have to pay $10 (!) to activate each keyword (this was average 7 cents at the beginning of the campagne).
    I already have contacted Google about this issue but only received a standard reply with advice/tips i already have implemented.

    All help/advice is very welcome!

    Current campagne settings for website FreeDailyCash.com:

    Its because your Quality score is really low, research Quality score, there is a ton of information on it you'll discover you can explore. But it is because you have a bad quality score.

    keyword minimum bids are decided by the landing page content. Without analysis of what the landing page looks like would be hard to say why you have such high bids. Make sure the landing page at the very least, some of those keywords on the landing page, you have an about me link and a privacy policy

    It looks like your domain has been "google slapped" You can search on DP or even google about being "slapped".

    The fastest way to get your ads showing again would be to buy another domain, copy your pages to it and change the domain name and links in your ads to the new domain / landing page.

    To try to survive without another slap, the very basics you need are:

    "About" page
    "Contact" page
    "Disclaimer / Terms" page
    "Privacy" page

    Maybe because you don't link out to the above pages, the system is not "seeing" them -- even though the info
    seems to be on your landing page.

    Also, Links to other "authority" websites can help.

    Hope this helps.

    it has not been slapped and he doesn't need a new domain. His current site is just not adwords compliant. I have rescued many clients accounts out of the $5 and $10 minimums with proper landing page redevelopment.

    redo your landing pages with the recommended landing page additions and create new text ads. Your landing page will be reassessed with new minimums

    you can outsource the same with specific landing page requirements that you are doing this for Adword. Infact, you can first try out yourself and check how this would affect in adword.

    To master Adwords you need to read up on some good books about google adwords and there are quite a few on the market ranging from 30 to 100 usd sounds pricey but with the knowledge that you gain from them quickly it will be more effective that losing hundreds through adwords.

    Because Google do not go out of their way to teach you what you really need to know before starting an Ad campaign.

    Just check out my last link below as this book has helped thousands of people with Google Adwords. It is a bit high at $97.00 for my liking but I learned a lot from it.

    Also if you buy it, it comes with a 100% guarantee that if you don't like it then you can get your money back!
