Hello, I started using Google Adwords last week. I have a campaign running for my site but I'm not getting many clicks. I have a few different ads under my campaign and at Google's recommendation they are running between 0.15 and 0.30 per click. I've spend around $1.50 over the past couple of days. I want expecting it to be a lot more. I'm not sure what to do about my keywords. I put in my own, and again also loaded in Google's recommendations. Where do I go from here? Thanks! -Raymond
think outside the box on your keywords ... what is your customer thinking or what is their mindset when they are searching? It's hard to help without knowing your site and your intent ... it could be many reasons, not bidding enough, ads not grabbing attention, wrong keywords? Are your keywords getting lots of impressions?
I have 5 ads running for my site, 4 to my forums and 1 to my arcade. I have over 5300 impressions. The arcade has 4000+ of the impressions and the forums have the other ~1000. There are 13 clicks, 10 into the arcade and a measly 3 into the forums. The overall CTR is 0.24%. Does this seem anywhere near reasonable, or are these ads doing very poorly? I have tried a variety of keywords across the different forum ads, and many of them are high volume or and/or high competition. I don't really care if I don't display every time, but is that 0.24% low or do I just need to be patient? Thank you. -Raymond
you could try to increase your quality score by make some tweaking or add more unique content to your landing page.
Arcade sites are really hard to monetize as well as undeveloped forums, seems like every newbie has an arcade site.....
