Ok so im a member of AdWords, have a high enough CPC that im basically #1 in every keyword I bought in for...
the thing is, my site just launched a few days ago, its one thing to be top in ad position, but my site doesnt even pop up in the search results! Is this normal?
Like seriously, even if you typed my domain name, google wouldnt know what it is... yet it still has my ads? I'm confused as to how my ads can pop up but my site technically doesnt exist. =( any help would be much appreciated!

Eterion,

I suppose you're talking about SERPs & AdWords. They have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

If your URL is working and your ad is showing, anyone clicking on it will land on your site.
In order that your site appears on SERPs, you have to be indexed by Google bots, and that is completely different.

That's why AdWords is recommended - although it has a cost, your (targeted) ads will appear in a away that you can customize.

It basically means that your site - being so new - hasn't been indexed by Google's bots yet.

You might find this of some use:
