I have chosen a longtail keyword. I have set up a landing page which has a QS of 10/10. My ad is not showing, my max CPC is well over what the keyword tool said. It has been up for over 8 hrs, with no change. I have zero impressions. NEED SOME HELP!

    If you just put your ad, it will take 10 minutes max to show up. If you start seeing non profit ads, it most likely means there are no ads to show that is relevant to your site's theme or your banned.

    My recommendation is to click on the ad in your ads management and preview it through the URL. Most of the time this works, and I think it is because it tells Google to look through your site.

    I had the same problem with an ad I posted, when I started I was getting impressions all over 67000 to be closer to exact! Then it just stoppped I don't know what has happpened! I have modified everything numerous times but it just won;t work again, not sure why either!! Adwords can be frustrating I think I;m going to delete everything and start from scratch with higher bid, when I started it had a high cost per click and I got lots but it got expensive so I dropped it down to .50 cents and worked great for a week then died! I'll let you know if this works for me!

    I really need some help with this...

    Here is an update:
    Tried to set up adwords campaign. My bid is higher than it should be, my daily budget is over the suggested one, and my QS is 10/10. My ads are still not showing. When i click on the little thing next to the keyword it says: Keyword Analysis: (KeyWord)
    Ad showing?
    No
    The keyword phrase doesn't currently trigger any of your ads.
    There are several possible reasons your ad isn't showing for this keyword, including:
    • You just added the keyword to your campaign. You may experience a short wait as your keyword goes through the review process.
    • Our system is experiencing a delay.

    It has been like this for over 24 hrs. I tried creating another campaign for something searched more, (1,000,000 searched per month) and i had the same problem.

    This ad is specific to the US and i have set it up to only show there. I however am having major problems with my IP which a little while ago had no origin. I understand that i cant see the ad, however no one else is either. I called the tech support of my ISP but i now have no internet and no one can come her till Tuesday to fix what they clearly broke. I am getting more and more frusterated. I had a really good idea, spent a lot of time on a landing page, and now i cant put it into action. Could someone please shine some light on this issue! I really would like to have my ad showing.

    Are you looking at the new configuration Adwords just rolled out? Be sure you're looking at the Home page, not the Ad pages. It looked like mine had stopped as well and it stayed at the same thing, but then I checked the Home page and found out my balance! Woah! So I had to pause my ads but they were running, just not updating on the ad page in Adwords. Then today I discover that the balance was even higher, so again, it was running, just not being updated in real time, so be careful if you're on a budget.

      I have checked all the pages... The home, the ad itself, and my balance, all have done nothing...

    Sounds like its a problem with Adwords and not with you settings.
    Having said that try putting the price on the click really high to see if it comes up then!

      Why don't you guys just contact the Adwords staff instead? Contact them by phone directly or just send them an email along with your issue.

      I always do this and they will reply you with all the answers you want.

      Just my 2 cents.

        I just cannot understand how adwords works at all. I tried setting a campaign up a few weeks ago. I had well optomized landing pages for the keywords i was bidding on had the keywords i was bidding on in the ad itself so i got quality score of 10/10. Estimated bid for page 1 was $0.30 i bid $0.35 and still nothing i get the annoying yellow triangle with the black ! saying my keywords aren't triggering any of my ads. I sit their on google hoplessley searching over and over on my keywords hoping my ad will come up, but no nothing, ive given up on adwords forever i just dont understand how it works.

        im now going seo crazy instead its a blessing in disgiuse that adwords doesn't work for me im getting natural results now.

        The only thing that i can think for me personally is that i set my currency to dollars and im in the uk maybe adwords was punishing me, i dont know, i dont care any more any way.
        I am sorry that you did not have any luck with AdWords. However I dont like to give up. I will "go SEO" eventually, but i want to try some things with AdWords. I will figure it out.

        This is great advice. I did this yesterday and gave them a call. They were incredibly helpful and the solution was found almost instantly. I appreciate everyone's help, thanks again!

        P.S. My Google AdWords account is now working!

    I just started 2 weeks ago and didnt know i could call them.I didnt see that in the help section.I will now.
    Next,i did send them an email.Yes they did answer one of my questions.The response was,out of 2-3 questions.
    [we have to manually check your ad so it takes about a week to do so.I personnally reviewed your ad and it is now online.If you have any more questions go to wwwgooglexxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xx]
    Then my ad showed for 2 days,showed probably 3-400 impressions,no clicks,clickthrows,ect.Then it all stopped and none of my ads have shown any activity since.
    So yes,i will call them now.
