Very Less Impressions inspite of high CPC bids

    I am currently running a campaign for a specific website. Inspite of my high CPC bid ( 3-4 times min. CPC ) the no of impressions and hence traffic is almost nil.
    The statistics are showing that the ads position are in range of 6-10 still there is little to no effect.
    Would there be any problem on my side or from google side.
    Is it possible that the searches for those niche has all of a sudden stopped??? I doubt about that....
    Should i increase my CPC bid??
    Currently not even 10% of my daily budget is utilized.
    Please guide.

    how much traffic do you expect? How many searches have your keywords?
    Try to use more popular keywords and broad match

    do not use your minimum bid to evaluate position or traffic volumes. If positioning report says 10 you need to up your bids, you will get the most traffic at a reasonable cost between 3 and 6 position. Anything below will have low volumes

    I have upped my bid much more than the min value.
    The position shows between 1-6 still not even getting enough impressions on 1st position.
    Currently I am using around 30 keywords.
    can it be because of negative keywords?? But the campaign will not get relevant result if i allow those negative keywords/
    I will remove them and post the result.
