Hi, unlike text ads, I read that google manually screens each new banner (image ad) campaign. Anyone any idea how long this takes on average? I'm already waiting a day and half and still no impressions OR... another reason why my ads don't display yet is because of the low CPM price??? At the moment i started a test campaign at $0.20 CPM (google's minimum). maybe this is too low?? What's the average CPM price i should pay? So in other words, how come my ads don't show yet? The test campaign isn't limited to a country, and i selected around 20 sites which can deliver 500+ million impressions per day. Anyone any idea?
You won't get much (if any) action at $0.20/cpm. CPM campaigns can take awhile to get rolling. Check this out for more info & procedures - AdWords CPM Campaigns.
Hey thanks for the link I only entered $0.20 because google recommends it for new (first time) image ad campaigns. Anyway I'll try raising it...
