HI :)

I was all excited about making my first ad and activating my account but 2 hours later no show for my ads and NO ads at all in the top 3 keywords I bid on!

I bid on "lottery" and related words BTW which I'd have thought was a popular term with several hundred thousand searches per month with a lot more sponsored ads showing up. (Have I found a niche? shhhhhhhhhhh) :)

My stats page shows 0 impressions so I know it is not running yet.

Is this normal?

Is there somewhere to get feedback about how my ad is worded? Are we allowed to share our ads here or is that considered advertising for our sites?

I am reading and learning heaps from this forum, thanks so much!

ok it is now up and running after a few hours

What I don't understand is if I bid on a keyword and there are no other ads showing if I do a google search on that word why doesn't mine? My ad shows under my 3rd in list keyword.

Should I reduce my keyword list to the one specific word I want to advertise under?
