No matter what I do, I can't get any impressions at all.

Can soemone help me out here please? I created a couple of campaigns about a week ago but no matter what keyword I use or maxium bid, I can't get any impressions at all. My ad simply will not show up and I created these campaigns a week ago. The ad groups and campaigns are active and they usually get hundreds of impressions a week. The thing that tells me something is wrong is that even if I try to add keywords or move up the bid price, when I click on "estimate traffic" it always shows "< 0.1" and "0" for the current and forecast for every heading and for any and every keyword.

What's wrong?

There are several possibilities, mostly relating to sensitive KWs or other problems. In this case, I'd give G customer support a call, or send them a support email. There are too many factors possible for anyone to see here that customer support could tell you very quickly.

The estimator has been known to be way off, so its not a good gauge to check on KWs. Experience with your AdWords KWs, and the OV suggestion tool are much better gauges for total impressions.

Yes. I have been messing around with creatives a LOT. I had a bunch of campaigns that had the same keywords and I deleted them all and created a new campaign with several different ads and edited the ads a bunch of times to get it just right. But it has been a while since I have done all that and still no impressions.

Are you sure you just aren't filtering the impressions out of your reports? Try looking at different days, just to be sure, or summary data for "Month To Date" or "This Month"

One of the reasons which causes no page impression with clicks/day of <0.1 and ad position of 0 is the keyword under review.

Same problem, i e-mailed G earlier today, being a Monday i don't expect a reply until Tues.
Zero imp's - i experimented by raising the max cpc to £7.50, daily budget to £150, nothing works.
It isnt a rare keyword, there are pages of Adwords showing for other advertisers.

Rocky, that's exactly what it was. I called google support and they told me I had reached my impression limit and I was scheduled for an editorial review. My ads have now been reviewed and are showing now.
