When i place a new ppc add in google, it is shown for 24 hours, get imps and gets clicks then on day 2 it is not shown again this has happened 3 times. Any idea why this is? 1st time i got a ctr of 12% click through so the ad got clikcs ie.e it appeadled to its taregt market. The 2nd time it got to 7% ctr. The after 24 hurt is was not shown again
If you are the only ad in this on this SERP google would expect the CTR to be higher than these, c.30-40% should be obtained. Without this high CTR google will consider this irrelevant to the search and remove on this basis
I'm getting the same problem. We're trying to display an PPC ad on a very short list of search terms (achieved by a long list of negative key words). The search terms are very high commercial intent and we're using a manual CPC strategy. No matter what our bid strategy is we don't even get any impressions. Any ideas? When there are many bidders for a search would google put new comers to the back of the queue?
When google quietly decides they don't like you they do all sorts of things to put you on a back burner. I bought ads from them and was impressed with lots of impressions and then I realized they were only showing my ads in India. When I set my ads to only show in the US I suddenly had total silence. This is what happens if Google thinks you are 1) a competitor or 2) some kind of scammer. Unfortunately there is really no way to hold them accountable. They pretty much do what they want. I honestly don't know why they think India is not a good market but I certainly didn't get many conversions from there.
