    Do you get any impressions at all? Check you quality score on all the keywords. If your score =1 then you need to change your landing page and wait for a few weeks.

    I don't get any impressions at all. Score? Where can I find that? Though it's saying my clicks/impressions is 0.
    Also, some keywords say Active
    Bid is below first page bid estimate of $0.40 and different estimates. What this mean? Im new. Should I bid higher on the keywordd? or what?

    It could be one of any number of things, including the most likely:

    1) if it's a new account your account under review - wait a few days and then contact google
    2) you've picked phrases that have very few searches - try the google keyword tool and see how many searches per month they get
    3) you're not bidding enough to be anywhere near any pages that get impressions

    How do I pick phrases or keywords that get good searches? Any tool?

    I will bid accordingly.

    It says my account = active . Does it still mean its under review if it says '' active '' ?

    As I said - use the Google Keyword Tool

    Active = active, shouldn't be under review

    It is probably because of your keywords chosen. Or your keywords are so popular that your ad is way at the end.

    This is were you need to experiment a little. Example , if your selling yarn or say sewing supplies, at the keyword tool put in sewing supplies and it will give you a ton of key words you can use. The only problem with this is every body selling sewing supplies has probably done the same thing, so take that list and put frases togeather that you think people would type in to look 4 sewing supplies. Example: sewing supplies: keywords are: (singer sewing, knitting, needle point, sewing patches,commercial sewing machines) ok now take some of these and make them yourown like "where to buy singer"
    or "buying sewing supplies cheap" or "supplies by singer" do you see what I mean? Use your imagination and experiment a little.
    Hope this helps. If your new to this game it is very good to join a coaching club.

    That's because (one or more of the below):

    a) you're not picking the right phrases

    b) your site / landing pages aren't geared towards the phrases you're using (or content is rubbish and it's a thin affiliate site)

    c) most of your clicks are form the content network

    d) your site needs work - call to action, text, images, etc etc etc

    Adwords, if done correctly, can be a great source of income

    WELL,In My experiance with adwords I have a rule. I must double my money spent. If I spend $3000 on advertising I must get a ROI of $6000, and I just about have this tweaked to a tee. Its been working for last few months. I also put 2 years in to testing and researching.

    It might be that you're not bidding high enough or choosing keywords with enough volume.

    If you are not getting any impressions on your ads there could be one more thing to check. Your ad that you wrote could be disapproved.
    To find out if it is, go into your campaign summary and click on the campaign. Next click on the ad group, then click on the tab (RHS) called Ad variations. Under the status column, check to see that your AD is active.

    I found that my campaign was active, but my ad was disapproved. So check that as well
