"You have reached and exceeded your budget" - What's the problem?

    Hi there,

    When I move my mouse over the magnifier next to a keyword, it says

    "Ads showing: No
    You have reached and exceeded your budget."

    I get what the message tells, but what I don't get is I don't have a single impression or click, I even raised the max cpc to $0.90 and the daily budget to $20, but still no hope.

    Does anyone know what's wrong? It's been 3 days since I signed up. Do they make you wait before your ads show up?

    Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Did any of you use promotional code?
    That may be the issue, but I've added +$10 to the free credit. So, at least I could be spending that $10.
    Don't know whats going on. I'll wait 1-2 days more

    I get this quite frequently and I signed up a long time ago, it just solves for me though.

    I see. I think they're kinda validating the promotional code.
    Probably we'll have to wait for a while.
    But they should definitely change the warnings.

    :)

    My daily budget is $20, and the maximum cpc is $0.90. After all, I don't have a single click in order to "exceed" my budget.

    Thanks for the tip though :)

    I signed up yesterday.
    Payed with my virtual epass visa
    didn't use any promotional code.
    Daily budget is $45.

    but still have the same problem - "Ads showing: No
    You have reached and exceeded your budget."

    with no clicks at all

    I think their system is simply broken. Maybe it's showing the wrong warning message.

    Yeah. still the same.

    I contacted the support, but they sent me a stupid "default" help page.

    I'll contact again when I find time
