Minimum Budget to Run Ads

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by Kapil Khaneja, Aug 26, 2008.

    I just created a few Adwords Campaign with default Bid = $1 each and individual Budget of $ 7.5 but Adwords say your budget is not enough to show Ads while there is still no click and all the $7.5 of budget is still pending. So my question is that is there a minimum Budget i need to set to make my Ads running.

    I hope you are talking about the daily budget of $7.5. Just check for the recommended daily budget and if thats almost the same then you dont have to worry. Also make sure your keywords are not inactive...This should ensure that your ad should show up:D

    Wait for 1-2 days, as adwords manual review completes in 1-2 days. also increase keywords and make broad match to get higher impressions.

    you need to increase budget since spend $1 per click and a budget of $7 will only allow for 7 clicks. Its to easy to get 7 clicks for most niche therefore google will not attempt to display your ad since it will probably get clicks faster than they can turn off your ad.

    If you want to spend that much per click you need to be able to spend more per day

    I understand that. But the keywords i m targeting are quite expensive and nothing below $1 will work. So in this case cant i get 7 clicks a day by putting a budget of $7. So that means Adwords is for people who have high budgets and can throw money. Is that fair. Instead Google should show my Ads at $1 per click and stop showing Ads when $7 are consumed.

    surely there is some long tailed keyword phrases you can be going after to bring down the cpc? Like if your bidding on 'refridgerator' try going much more specific and going for phrases like 'samsung supercool refridgerator' (i know nothing about the fridge market so dont shoot me, its just an example :) )

    It is the same which PPc service you use,just find less competitive keywords and you can get a $0.10 click,so with a $0.10 click you can get 70 visitors daily.

    If you're trying to generate some affiliate income, I suggest you choosing a smaller niche with little competition. You will be able to get some ads for 0.1$ for such a niche and you might profit from it if you do it right.
    paying 7$ to get 7 visitors daily is just ridicioulous.

    That niche is not personal and its for my client. He's ok with a $1 click but just want to start with a low budget. I m unable to show results with such a low budget. He has the potential to go with a higher budget if i show him something.

    If we talk of a better niche for Affiliate promotion what are your suggestions on what product ? PERSONALLY :)

    How do you know that the clicks are available at $1... haven't you read the about the recommended budget (it says if you dont have the amount equivalent to the recommended budget then your ads will be shown intermittently) so your ads might not show up everytime a user searches. And its possible that when it shows up ... users dont click on it... Change you ad delivery method and it might help you get the clicks... :D

    Because for some keywords the Minimum bid is too high

    Don't bid on the main term, the bids will always be expensive,
    Bid on several long tailed keywords, the bids will be much cheaper.

    I.e don't bid on weight loss, because it is way to expensive

    But bid on 'methods to lose weight'
    and 'Losing weight with running'

    You can probably get away with 0.20 per click
