    Trying to target plentyoffish.com though adwords, First i tried with no keywords, pu a bid of 50 cents per click, ads is not showing.
    Then i tried with related keywords, ads is still not showing.
    Does anyone have any suggestions. I don't think those ads on plentyoffish bidding more than 50cents, then why my ad is not showing there?

    did you do CPM?? or CPC?

    I guess maybe the bid is really more than 50cents.

    I agree with thomas_ukm, the bid may be more than 50 cents that's why your ad is not showing up.

    Did you choose the the countries or regions? Make sure you selected the country where you are from. Another possible reason is that your budget is not enough to show the ad all the time a day, and since google server time has a time difference with yours, and the ad may be not showing while you are viewing the site.

    My ad group also doesn't have enough budget, and I checked the site I targeted and never found my ad there. But from my account page, I saw impressions and clicks. Please check your them, if it's 0 for both, then definitely your ad is not showing.

    Bidding price normally is not the reason if it's more than $0.5/click. I suggest you set a daily budget and maximum bidding price.

    Increase your bid and you will most likely pop up on the page.

    Yes unfortunately they are correct. Targeted placements are not nearly as cheap as they used to be.

    Increase your bid and I am sure your ads will start showing.
