My hard fight with adwords

:)

[wrznet]

My ad appears on google only short period of time and then disappear.
I tried many things. My daily budget is what google recommended. I even set $1 per click. Nothing help....fighting with google over 4 days now.

View Recommended Budget
Analyzing budget ...
Your budget is OK. We don't recommend changes at this time.

Delivery method: Accelerated: Show ads as quickly as possible

Ad serving: Optimize: Show better-performing ads more often

CTR: 1.96%

any help?

What's your average CPC and your daily budget? How large is your campaign, or do you have multiple campaigns?

I would suggest changing the delivery method to show over a longer period of time. I would also change the ad serving to rotate evenly. If you aren't doing it, try creating more ads for your ad groups to see what performs better. That's a good way to increase quality score, thus lowering your overall cost per click and ad position.

Just tried one keyword. CPC is $1.36
Daily budget is more than enouch :)
What else i can try....any gurus here?

Are you an affiliate? It's possible someone copied your ad word for word, using the same domain and just bidding higher so they show over you.

This'll be pretty tough to troubleshoot in a forum such as this, in which we can't see your account - so I hope that you've also contacted AdWords support.

Historically, though, if an ad is showing - but is not showing all the time - it's usually a budget issue.

[...] My daily budget is what google recommended. I even set $1 per click. [...]

One thing to note is that if you checked for the recommended budget and then raised your Max CPC - the recommendation you received will no longer be accurate. This is because fewer $1.00 clicks are possible within a given budget than clicks at a lower Max CPC.

You might want to consider a short term experiment: raise your budget to the absolute maximum you'd be willing to spend in a 24 hour day, and then let the ad run for a day or more under that budget - and see if this causes your ad to show more often.

Don't forget to lower it back down, however. ;)

Run an 'impression share' report at the Campaign Reports level as this will show you if your budget relative to impressions on a daily basis (it's a tick box in the Campaign report). Just note, impression share for days of the week can change, ie. potentially you'll achieve a higher rate a weekends if there's naturally been less searches -so evaluate the information of this report a few days to week at minimum.

The option you set for delivery method (accelerated) would explain why your ads are disappearing so quickly. Definitely change to 'evenly over time'.

I have to confess I don't use the Google budget recommendation tool, I have my own internal methods for calculating my budgets in combination with Impression share reports, historical data etc. However just an idea, is there a potential difference for country settings. ie. the suggestion tool only based on one country data but you have a your campaign set to all countries? (just thinking aloud on that last point).

I have exactly the same problem, I raised the maximum CPC, daily budget.
Still seeing the same problem.

I trying to throw money at Google, yet Google won't make my Ad no. 1, even show my ad. Why? Why?
