    Stay way from the content network and stick with the Google search network. The content networks tends to waste your money very quickly...

    that's a generalization. for specific products/services, Ive seen content targeting work.

    there could be several issue why your not generating traffic. how many impressions are you getting? If your not getting many impressions, your bid could fall below the minimum..check ad diagnostics. was your ad accepted?

    not getting much impressions in content network, I was thinking about making the bid higher, but I'm getting clicks and impressions from google search with the same bid.

    Recent changes with the content network has made nearly all campaigns that use it go under manual review and it can take days for your ads to start showing. If it has been days already then give google adwords support a call and they will hurry it up. they

    I am on the opposite end of spectrum. I get a lot of clicks from the content. I guess it depends on the niche. I have also noticed that sometimes it takes time for the Content Network to start showing ads full speed.

    Abu-yeah, try increasing your bid. Just because you get impressions and clicks in search at a particular bid amount doesn't mean you will get that kind of traffic via the content network. they are totally seperate markets, with different supply and demand.

    Abu, I would also separate search and content campaigns so that they are 2 and not 1. This way you'll be able to handle your cpc much wisely for each kw.

    You should begin by checking where in the 'content network' do your ads show. You can check it by creating a report called 'Placement report' at the Report Centre.
