I have set my adwords ads to run in Indonesia and it is now running. And I can see my ads and my competitors running in google.co.id when I preview my ads using https://adwords.google.com/select/AdTargetingPreviewTool. However why can't I see my own ads in google.co.id (without the preview tool above) while I can see my competitor's ad instead? Please kindly suggest...
Could be many things: Exhausted budget. Budget not high enough to show your ads 100% of time. You've done searches before and never clicked your ads. Google figures it will try with other ads. Google may know it's your ads and not showing them. Some believe that if you have Adwords open and doing a search in another window, your own ads won't be served. Not something I'd worry about however. If you are showing impressions, your ads are obviously being served somewhere, sometime.
