Can anyone explain ? I've set the highest bid for the keyword that is searched 5000 times a day, used exact matches. It shows that ad should have 1 position. But after 1 day i looked at the stats and it showed only 3 clicks. When i manually searched there is no my ad. Hovewer it says ad is Active.
No budget is not exhausted. Its new account and i have no outstanding invoices yet. Ad is shown, but very rarely. I used estimate calculator and set bid for #1 position as it tells.
Try setting the advert showing to accelerated (i think its stated as "spend budget until depleted") and see if that doesn't get it to show more often. One thing to note is that any changes you make to an advert or keyword, it takes some time for it to take effect. Also, exact matching can sometimes be a little variant with how you think the advert shows up. Maybe try changing keyword to "phrase" and see if that doesn't get it to show more easily.
I been a Adwords user 4 a long time. 3 days ago I started using Adcenter , created my campaigns and still get no impression and no clicks.... Im thinking hundreds of keywords are needed in order to start working properly...
omosquera: what is max bid per keyword you have set? you need to have min 0.05 CPC inorder to see impressions.
