Hey, Just had a question or two for some of you google experts out there. I used to run google adwords a little while ago, but I can t remember exactly how the process worked for me in the past. I recently fired up a campaign with a series of different adgroups for individual keywords and so on so forth. I created my page with a landing page as an index that has about 6 other pages eg. contact , privacy poilicy, about us ... ect ... I did my keyword research and got my adgroups setup .. I checked the click/day estimator and it said I would get about 100-150 clicks a day on my current budget and cpc bid. I activated the campaign and went to bed and its now about 12-15 hours later and so far i ve gotten .... 6 impressions Is this just a matter of google still reviewing the ad ? It is a brand new account and it says my quality score is great ... but this is also because a lack of historical data. Is there anyway to know why my it is not giving me the clicks that it estimated ? Is this estimator usually correct ? Keep in mind that i checked the estimates within my campaigns, not just in the tools Thanks for all of your feedback Jay
First off let me say that from experiece I have found the google traffic estimator to be very inaccurate I've set up campaigns where Google had estimated 2-3 clicks per day and I manage to get 50-75 clicks per day I have also experienced the opposite Also keep in mind where your ads are being shown, are they on first page? if not you'll barely get a click you can check out your ad's placement HERE
thanks for your reply .. i m going to do some experience with long tail keywords and trust wordtracker over adwords estimator any other input with a similar experience ?
