    I thought once i learn how to place adds on adwords and it's approved,money will roll in,PLEASE HELP TO UNDERSTAND.
    I placed 3 adds few days ago ,one was approved righr away the other 2 after few days still pending ,i don't understand why no traffic on approved one yet and why the other 2 still pending.
    Is it because my keyword bids are lower.
    Buget $30 a day and 0.30 per click and campaigns are include - FREE GIFT CARDS---BABY PHOTO CONTEST--30 SECOND SMILE.
    thanks

    Target more keywords using keyword wrappers and then narrow everything down to optimize the best keywords used for the campaign

    Thank everyone,i got about 35-40 keyword for each campaign and i thought $0.30 cent per click for content is OK,i will raise 5 cents more to learn what's gonna happens.

    I have found out that sometimes it may take more time, even if the campaign is listed as "approved"
    I suggest you raise your bid and wait for another day or two.

    Hi,
    have a look on CTR, if its high then u don't need to bother about any other stuffs.

    also, check out the keywords which doesn't bring any conversion and axe them out.

    improve the quality score. definitely these things'll bring you the best ROI in the long run.

    Brutal honesty - you are trying to fly without speeding up on a runway. And you are not a helicopter.

    Pause your campaigns.

    Learn how to use Adwords from the Google learning centre and Perry Marshall's book.

    Then come back.

    Otherwise, you will lose money and probably give up before you make your profit.

    All the best!

    As daft as it sounds, make sure your date range at the top right of the screen is set to the correct dates... ie. day campaigns started + todays date.

    If the dates are set to before you launched then you will see no data!

    I know this simple, but for someone new to adwords, it could be the answer you need.

    Hope it helps... Good luck. As the above poster states - make sure you understand the concepts involved first, as potentially adwords is one of the quickest ways to lose lots of money... Be warned.

    You can't run those offers on adwords directly. Well you can run the baby photo one, but not the other two. They don't like those types of offers.
