2 questions please 1. i know you can schedule when ads will show but can you schedule bids as well? because i noticed that on certain hours of the day my bid is not enough and on off peak low bids are ok. 2. how many ads would you recommend for one ad group? will it be smart to fit every keyword to different ad? Thanks
1. You can adjust bids as a percentage of your max for any day, any time just like you do for ad scheduling. In the Ad Schedule screen, click on Bid adjustment and go from there. Never really used this myself but neat feature if you want to take advantage. 2. Always test two ads at a time, no more. Pause lesser performing one and create a new one. Repeat.
Thanks, one more thing if i may. i get this message for one of my keywords: That is not true i don't have that word associated anywhere. Do you know why maybe i get this message? Thanks
If it says that, it must be true so check your account. I guess the system could be "confused" for some reason. Why don't you contact Google? But check your account first to be positively sure.
yeah i contact google with it, and no i have only one campaign and 2 ad groups i have very little keywords so i can't miss the keyword somewhere else i have few google adwords accounts do you think it checks other accounts too?
Having more than one account is against the TOS and can get you banned. Would be a simple thing for Google to find out. Maybe they have linked the two together (again, simple thing for them to do) and may be why this is happening. They know by now that many advertisers have more than one account. They may have decided to try a new approach to limit abusing the system. Although my personal opinion is that if you break the rules, you should be punished.
i didn't know it's against the TOS to have multiple accounts... Why would google care anyway i paid them a lot of money with my accounts.. :S what can i do then? can i close my accounts?
Why would Google care? If you have two accounts, you can have two ads showing at the same time for the same keywords. You are now NOT on the same playing field as every other advertiser. You have an advantage (although I'm not entirely sure you would have one). As a competing advertiser, I would be very upset with you so I care too. Close all but one of your accounts. Some people think I'm exaggerating and you should be OK but I'm not joking. You will be found out and they will close all your accounts.
yes you are right, but that wasn't the reason i opened the other accounts in the first place. i opened a prepaid account to learn, but i wanted my permanent account to be postpaid and you can't change it after you start an account so i had to open a new one. it's sooo lame you can't change your account from prepaid to postpaid! if you have a good account that works fine and you decide as a customer to change the way you pay you SHOULD have the option. well in my opinion anyway. i canceled the other accounts i hope google will believe me it was an honest mistake Thanks for your help
