Quick question. For over a couple of days now I have been trying to run a CPM campaing targeting about 100 websites that I would like to advertise on. I have $1.00 CPM but I am not getting any impressions at all. It has been a couple of days but my ads are not running. Thanks for your help.
I have no solution - I have the exact same problem, except I boosted my CPM to $10.00 - still no action... Is there a secret button that we have to push? Everything seems to be in order.
CPM campaigns can take some time (I see 24 - 48 hour delays all the time) to get running. In addition to that, there's no "suggested bid" or anything else to let you know if you're bid is sufficient to get the ads running. If you've been at $1/CPM for more than 48 hours and haven't seen any impressions up your bid by a buck or two.
Okay, but I have had mine at $10 since Saturday - still no action. Oh well, must be much more expensive than I would have guessed. Thanks for the info!
Depends on the market - I've seen some markets where you need to bid $15/CPM to get things moving. Actual CPMs come in between $7 & $10, but bidding a max of $10 won't get things running.
Every CPM campagn must be manually reviewed by google (straight from the horses mouth - I experienced the same and got an answer from google support), so it can take some days. Nothing to worry about.
