My ads no longer showing up

Why did they stop?

[ari11210]

Hello all,
I am somewhat new to the AdWords world. In January I bought some adwords ads for some keywords that no one else was or is bidding on. My ads showed up consistently for the last few months but got very few click-throughs. On May 1st, I stopped seeing my ads. Does anyone know why? I emailed google but havent heard back. Would they remove my ads if they dont get enough clicks, even if no one else is bidding on these keywords? My adwords account pages dont say anything about my keywords being inactive or anything like that. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help
Aaron

Yes, this can happen, but not simply because there are too few clicks. Actually, it is the ratio of impressions to clicks (otherwise known as CTR) that matters.

Because there are many possible explanations as to why your ads are not appearing, it'd be best to have AdWords support take a look at your actual account if eWhispers excellent list doesn't turn up the cause.
