    Ok I have a list of 10000 keywords and every time I copy and paste them into my keywords for my campaign it keeps saying it cant add my keyword because its already covered by an existing keyword in the ad group. Im already half way through my list and I only have 1000 keywords in my campaign. Whats the deal?

    This is my first campaign by the way.

    Ok I figured out that question by myself. I need someone who knows what they're talking about though. How long does it take for me to get clicks? My campaign has been running for a couple of hours now but I have no clicks. But my account balance was $130 now its at $129.80 but shows no click. WTF?

    Sometimes the stats are just slow to update. Could take a few minutes.
    Also,remember to set your date range right. So that the stats displayed are uptodate.

    Really depends on your bids. If you have very low bids on high value KWs, you won't get the impressions needed. Are you getting impressions?

    No I got 4 clicks yesterday. I only have a $10/day budget so I was bidding .10. One of my ad groups got 3 clicks so I just updated those bids to .35 and another group got one click so I upped that one to .20. Im just playin around with it. Any tips?

    So you are getting a few clicks but no impressions? .35 may be too low depending on your keywords.

    Sounds quite normal to me. I would concentrate on expanding those keywords. I'm not sure of your niche, but I don't have much luck on some of my niches at a low bid either. My bids are average of .75-.2.00 per click.

    Ringtones is a tough market. Very saturated. You may wanna try it on the content side of Adwords. Try it on social networking sites, teen sites, and MySpace resource sites with content bid around .25-.35 to start. A lot of bigger sites like MySpace.com most likely wont display them at that rate, but some will. YSM should show some ads and get you some clicks at .50 though. Just be patient and the clicks will come. I wish you luck.

    EDIT: You might wanna look at some teen magazines at your local bookstore or online and see who the next teen heartthrobs are and add them to your campaigns. For example: Ashley Tisdale Ringtones, Corbin Bleu Ringtones. You can then bid on their names, and use keyword insert to pull the KW and just add ringtones after. You could get away with bidding around .10-.15 this way ;-)

    Your target audience for this niche will be 15-17 year old females.
