I chose a list of related websites to display my Ads. This was early yesterday. I bid $0.01 per click. None of them are showing yet. Is this because I am losing all the bids and other people are getting the ad space who are bidding higher? Or, is this just because it has only been a day and it should start working soon.
A little from column A, a little from column B For a new placement campaign they will run an eye over the ads before it goes live, and they won't do it at the weekend, so it'll probably take a day or 2. But also - .01 a click? If you've got a very uncompetitive market or it's well-established campaign with a good ctr history, maybe. but otherwise not much is going to happen at that bid.
Yes, sure, you can bid $0.01/click if there are no advertisers at all. Did you estimate traffic for your keywords before starting campaign?
I chose many sites, about 20+ to advertise on which have 500K+ impressions per day. I did not use the keyword method. My website that I am advertising is very general and there is no target audience. The target audience is "anyone that has a thought they would like to share....and speak English". It is a large audience. I'm hoping to pull some really cheap clicks based on this. Is there any way to get $0.01 clicks from such a general audience?
