I'm new and keep getting the "no ad is being shown for the keyword..." Q: What should I do to ensure that an ad IS shown for a particular or all keywords?
a) check your quality score, ad wording, landing page. Check what adwords says in regards to quality score b) check what the min CPC is, and what you bid. c) just bid high
Sometimes the "Is my ad showing?" information within our account is wrong. You can always check if your ad is showing by using the keyword tool and selecting region and keyword.
