    Hi guys,

    have a wierd problem with a campaign i started 2 days ago, wonder if i can get some help. I've structured my campaign with two adgroups - one for search only and one only for placements i target. Strange thing is that placements arent getting any impressions, although they seem to be active.

    I have another campaign that is structured exactly the same way and its running fine, any ideas what might be the problem? Could it be that my placements list was a lot longer this time or something?

    Thanks in advance!

    There can be various possibility. The best it to just wait for couple more days. but make sure the campaign is seeded with ok budget.

    Would like to to hear some of these possibilities :)
    The budget is absolutely enough imo, but should i try to increase it just to check if it lets my campaign free :)

    Placements ads have to undergo review process from Google

    Placement bids need to be fairly high to be shown...

    what site are you bidding on?

    How much did you bid?

    wait for 4-7 day for first impression income and many more later

    Thanks for answers.
    Roberpriolo, thing is i'm from Bulgaria and things are hardly comparable with the costs in the USA or other places where Adwords is so widely used and developed. Placements bids of about 0.25 - 0.30 cents for lots of good local sites are usually enough for ads to show, but this particular campaign seems just stuck. Maybe i should delete the adgroup and try to create entirely different campaign with the same placements?

    so your targeting bulgaria only? This may be the issue alone. Are you sure there are Bulgarian visitors going to that site? If not impressions may be little to none in the first place.

    Also, be sure to wait about 3 - 7 days for image ads to be approved. Google is slow to approve them these days

    True! I am really not sure if Google has their Adwords Center in Bulgaria to speed up these kind of approval of ads. Do wait for 2-3 days.
