So I got the GCD email and tried out PPC again

On Thursday I picked a two phrase keyword that has over 1,000,000 searches / mo according to Google. I did an exact phrase match and bid $5.00 for 24 hours.

In 24 hours I had 18 impressions and 3 clicks @ $0.78 per click, so I lowered my bid from $5 to $0.78.

Since then I've had no further impressions, period. Yet my ad is showing up when I search in Google.

I did accelerated search and only Google search network (not partners or content network).

My quality score is 7 / 10 and it says my ads are running. When I type in this phrase into Google I see my ad!!!

The keyword is supposed to have 1,000,000 searches / mo. Is this really only 18 / day for exact match and then 0 / day for 3 days or am I doing something wrong?

Never mind, just figured it out. Was using the old interface and wasn't showing current data.
