I started my brand new campaing about a week ago, I'm adding few hundred kws each day, most of adgroups supposed to bring at least 10-50 clicks per day, some less than one, but anyway, estimated budget is about 5000 per day. That's a lot, yes, but it never reached more than 30-40 bucks per day.
Today was slow for some reason and I checked some of the words with Diagnostic tool. And it says my daily budget reached and exceeded! Not a single lead today, about 14 clicks and this piece of &%#$ dares to throw that BS in my face!
Eh..
Question number one:
When I was adding new adgroups with normal, traffic-generating keywords, let's say 5-10 new adgroups per day, and estimations for each adgroup were 10-50 clicks, I noticed that new adgroups don't start generating impressions and of course clicks right away, like there's a guy who looks after my campaign and slowly turns my keywords on one by one. It it normal? How to fire this guy? It's annoying Smile
Question two:
What to to with this exceeded daily budget thing? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, content network was always off, av. CPC is below 1.5-2 US per click, I even turned off search network and it still says budget is exceeded. At the same time when I click on "recommenede budget" it says it's enough. OF COURSE it's enough! :)
Did anybody experience anything like that? I really try to get as many deals as possible and dark forces are out there. I do bid on some brand names and competitor's URLS as well as misspellings and so on, but G never stopped me saying it's brand, etc.

Well right off, you're relying on an equally buggy Traffic Estimator. I never look at that, I don't think anyone does.
Are you sure your keywords are really ones that get searched or are they too restrictive?
If you search for them, do they turn up?
Those are a couple of things I'd look at before putting too much stock in the other buggy tools.

In my case it's financial leads, does Google have to approve my ads and kws first?

I did - and can concur its a complete BS, not just _way_ off the mark, its just totally bad, and if it was underestimation then I could have lived, but it was a total huge overestimation, the only thing that was underestimated were cost per click.
If I was its developer I would not have had weekends until its fixed.

what kind of financial leads are you generating?
