Three days - 106 keywords - 5,111 searches/Adsense sites (mostly Adsense sites) - No clicks!
Any tips for actually geting clicks?!
Adwords shown on the content network are notorious for low CTR, especially for certain segments of keywords. It is not unusual to get 0.1% CTR or even less from them.
First example in first post....
.9% CTR for search (11 clicks), and .1% for AdSense (2 clicks).
Second example in first post....
content has 4,458 impressions and no clicks. Search has 706 impressions and one click.
Blarg. From an adverisors view, AdSense sucks, while when looking at the earnings reports, AdSense rocks!!!
Any tips to atleast hit my max daily spending cap?!!!!! I could set it at $1,000,000 and it would do no good!!!! From six campaings it's set at a total of $10.00 a day with some set at 5 cents a click, and some set at 10 cents a click. I've spent a measly $1.50 in the last week!

It seem like you are targeting too broadly and showing impressions to people that aren't interested.

Sounds a tab spammy, eh? (no offence, just my 2 cents) Maybe try something a bit more conservative. Split test with two different ads + tracking codes to see if a more conservative one works.
Lets say your keyword is
"free widgets"
Top Line: Free Widgets Blah
Second line: Get Free Widgets in our Widgets store
Third line: Our Widgets Are Free and never cost a thing

Basically youre trying to populate your ad with the keywords youre using. You want things to appear bold because it does alot of good for your ctr. Remember alot of surfers dont read the entire ad so your top line has to contain the keyword for them to even look at it.
Also it would behoove you to put directories that are keyword oriented in your server. That way it gives your ad an increased relevance and thus a higher CTR.
The main thing is spread out your campaign. Make one campaign with a TON of keywords then take the ones that get the most impressions, delete them from the main adgroup and start a separate adgroup for them. Make sure the new adgroup has the keyword in the ad more often then the original.
To make your ads work, you should tell the searchers what make your "quit widgeting" different from the rest.
Good your luck
