I was just at Amazon and typed in my keyword just to see someting and I noticed that I was not there. I hit refresh and there I was. I did this a bunch of times and about 5 our of 7 times my ad is nowhere to be seen. All my competiters are there every time. It is just my ad that dissapears. I went to google and did the same thing and every refresh it is there.

Ogle:

Check the recommended spending limit per day to yours (if you don't see one, you're likely over it). There's a good chance that your ad may not show for every search because of a popular keyword coupled with a (relatively) low spending cap. My guess is that's where your problem lies. :)

I agree with BriGuy. Up your spending limit and you should appear on every search.

It does show on every search on Google. There is no limit issue. There just seems to be something wrong on Amazon.

I have a few quick thoughts on this one.

If your ad is not showing on Amazon, it could be that it has not yet been reviewed and approved after a change to the ad copy.

I know that your ad was on Amazon at one point. But if you make an editorial change to an ad that was appearing on a partner site (such as Amazon), the ad will then come down from the partner site until it is reviewed again, and approved. (More on this subject soon.)

Another thought is that since Amazon is a 'Content sites in Google's network', there is not really a way to guarantee that a particular ad will always appear there - as the content of the Amazon page (or your keyword list for that matter) may have changed.
