Adwords Content Network

Steve Mount · 11-19-2009, 11:43 AM

Hm, seems that the content network ain't workin like it used to.

I have experience with this in the past so I know what I'm doing.. however doesn't seem like something is right and maybe I've overlooked something.

Set up a campaign for a product as an affiliate... direct linking it... 4 image ads have been approved by Google (No Text Ads, just image ads). 14 highly relevant keywords have been included.

However, 3 days after getting the approval, I still don't have any action.

I have a 30 dollar a day budget on this campaign, with .20 clicks to start.

The only weird thing is that when I go to the keyword list in the ad group, then hover over the diagnostic tool, it says the ads aren't showing because they must be on the search network to show up.... I don't remember seeing this before but I'm thinking that this is just a glitch in their system.

I've contacted Google to no avail.

Anyone else experiencing a "no impressions" content campaign lately?

what's your CPC price ?

I posted above, but anyways it's .20c

20 cents is likely too low. Depends on your niche.

When you hover over the keywords, it's just reminding you that this campaign is set for the content network only. Google figures out the theme of your keywords to show your ads. There is therefore no real information about individual keywords to show, including QS.

If you haven't used Adwords in a while, there has been some changes in the interface mostly. The good thing is that your images have been approved. You've passed the first hurdle.

I've set the bid to .50 cents which I think is absurd for content, but we'll see what happens.

I'm wondering if I need to put in some text ads as well to get the thing going... hm. Currently only running 4 image ads

Hi Steve,

Your adwords account is probably under review for the product that you are promoting.
