Nearly every one of my keywords is "on hold"

Is the "0" impression keywords affecting others?

[Heidi9771]

I have tons of low impression to no impression keywords in the hopes of aggregating very specific keywords at a lower cost per click (since not as many people woul be bidding on them!)

But now it seems that they are not getting any impressions and have negatively affected my low impression keywords to be put on hold! Yikes! Any advice?

This is wierd. When I first started my keywords were going on hold all the time... now this never happens..

hmmm

1. Do you have ads that go to a merchant page and not a unique one?

2. Are people phrase matching a more basic form of that word at a higher price and pushing you down?

3. When you do the searches for your exact KW - do your ads show at all? (even on page 4-5, etc...)

4. Have you run the ad diagnostic tool for those KWs?
