About 6 months ago I used adwords a lot. I went back to it about a week ago and tried to launch some new campaigns but nothing is showing up. I have made ads that dont need any aproval, I have high bids on keywords and everything is active yet I am getting zero impressions. I tried their tools and searched for keywords in my campaign and it still shows nothing. I emailed google twice and it has been 3 days now with no response. I dont know what the trouble is.
Have you tried upping your budget? When your budget is running low the campaign management system gives your campaign a rest.
I have 2 campaigns and I gave each a budget of $100 a day which was a good budget according to googles traffic estimate. Should I raise it even more?
Have you checked the ad diagnostic tool? I've found that when their are problems getting ads running you can get a much quicker resolution by calling support instead of e-mailing them.
Have you drilled down into your campaigns to make certain the keywords aren't disabled? You know how sometimes Google disables your keywords and you only notice because you go to edit them? Maybe you don't. It's a pain in the bahooka because you end up wondering why you're not getting any traffic till it dawns on you to check for keyword disabling.
