    I have an ad campaign with adwords and if i leave my ad as it is below its ok!

    Free Football Tips
    Free Football Tips
    Free Football Tips
    www.free-football-tips.co.uk

    But i am not getting very high click thrus

    My blog is about football betting tips, if i change my ad to football bettting tips Google stop some of my keywords ie "Football tips" which is my main traffic keyword.

    Any ideas how i could reword the ad without google stopping some of my keywords?

    just a small advise you can make it be something like this
    "do you love football"
    get free football tips
    from free football tips
    then your site

    it might work

    Have a read of this: Increase CTR

    The problem might not be your ad though. It may be due to you bidding your minimum bid as your max cpc more than likely putting you to the bottom of the pile or a few pages in where you will rarely get any clicks other than from your competition researching.

    follow CTR report in your campaign. If it is really low (lower than 0.5%) then you need improvement of your ads.

    If your Ad is like example stated in post then I suggest to write down something more serious.

    Just make sure that you're only looking at the Search Network if you look at the clickthrough rate. The CTR on the Content Network is generally very low, but it doesn't matter...

    There is minimal competition i average 4 position for 0.02.

    if i hover my mouse cursor over the magnifieng glass for the keyword "football betting tips" it says

    Ad showing?
    No
    This keyword is not permitted to show your ads in the targeted location.

    If i change My ad to something more enticing like


    Free football predictions
    For this weekend football
    Earn money today
    http://www.free-football-tips.co.uk

    Google then start not showing my ads for more keywords, im assuming as the ad is related to gambling!?
