    Hi!

    I have just started to use adwords, There are 3 campaigns online for a week now, but i see no impressions till today.. i have tried to increase the CPC everyday.. The marketing is for a medical product..

    I have tried the cpc estimator to gauge CPC, but im not able to

    Any suggestions please? What does the average CPC roughly for some medical product ?

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

    This may sound really dumb, but I had the same problem for about a week. Make sure that in your Campaign Summary screens you have selected 'All Time' from the drop down menu. Easy mistake to make.

    Also, do your keywords show what ad rank you would expect? If you're on the first page (ranked 1-11), you would expect some impressions. Have you used the keyword tool in AdWords? It should show you estimated traffic.

    Thanks Guys

    @Grumio
    The date range is okay :)

    Btw, my estimated position for most words is between 1-3 and 4-6 only for some words is 7-10.. Thats really strange, coz I am bidding higher CPC for sure.. else the estimated position wouldnt be between 1-3 would it?

    Well, that's definitely the reason you're not getting any impressions, but I wonder why?

    I've never used single word keywords. So they would be pretty expensive. I'm sure for something like 'snoring' you would expect to pay upwards of $2.00 to be on the first page.

    Have you clicked details and recommendations?

    I know sometimes a keyword won't show when you have two of the same, like 'stop snoring' and 'snoring stop', but that doesn't explain why your keywords won't show at all.
