    Okay, I am sort of new with Adwords. I have had success a while ago but I'm back with it. Here are my campaign details ...

    Targetting: Canada
    Bidding Option: Focus on clicks, automatic bidding, CPC bid limit: UK£0.40 (I've raised it by £0.1 everyday, at first it was at £0.2)
    Budget: £5.00/day

    Keywords

    home business information
    how to make money from home
    how to make money online
    make money from home
    make money online from home
    online business
    start a home business
    successful home business

    I have no clicks and 0 impressions. What the heck am I doing wrong ?!?!?!?

    Please give me some tips, thanks :D.

    Go to the page in Adwords Management where there are your keywords. There is a magnifying glass near each one. Click on it!

    This is interesting, today for my employment search site I tried to use the keywords you have mentioned and many others. Guess what? I didn't get many impressions and clicks after several hours. I wondered why. Then I looked at the average cost of those keywords: anywhere from 60 cents to a dollar. This niche is very much "hijacked" by some top paying websites who make tons of money off of the business/work from home thing.

    You can activate by bank wire or CC - depends where is Your billing address. If You want to activate by someone else by CC - good luck :) Other way, it is completly easy to activate, if You opened acc. Yourself, You will be able to do this. If You really need a help to activate it, write PM to me.

    Yeah, that's a very low budget for such a saturated niche - I'd suggest you try another niche or put a A LOT of effort into finding a lot of long tail keywords. (That budget will never provide enough clicks with those phrases at those CPCs to give you enough real test data to optimise your account - unless you left them at a low CPC and therefore low positions, and just waited a VERY long time to get results)

    Yeah I realize that now :). And I started at $10/daily because I want to test out some campaigns and keywords until I find the right formulas. I will eventually build up when I get everything going :).
