Hello,

I am new to Adwords and right now my problem is that I am not receiving enough clicks so google is stopping the campaign until I fix the problem. I fixed it twice but nothing happens.

How many clicks are you expecting per day? How much are you paying per click?

If someone could help me, I will appreciate.

Diego

You need to maintain a CTR of more than 1% overall for the ad and per keyword, otherwise it will be shut down. You probably need to target more.

peepain, i'm thinking about using Adwords for my website <snip> has your problem been fixed? If so, how effective is it?

Peepain, I agree with hannamyluv. I've found it's a matter of fine tuning your whole campaign, the keywords or phrases you're targeting, as well as writing good creatives (ads) that draw the right kind of click... That takes some work, and knowledge of your site and it's part of the market. google has some great optimization tips [adwords.google.com].

Toann, it's not really a problem with Adwords, it's all in the application. Read hannamyluv's suggested threads - you'll find what you need to know. We use Adwords for our own site as well as client's sites and it is effective - but you've got to do your homework and be prepared to play around with it. It's not a magic lead (or sales) machine. The beauty of it? You can make changes and see results very quickly.
