Hi

I have a keyword which has close to 50% CTR has 900 impression a day for few days but now The same keyword has 100 impression now.(last 4 days) But has the same CTR I tested few things like

1. Make sure all the search partners are showing them
2.The keyword has "QS score Great"
3.No negative word with that keyword

Anything else I should do to make sure nothing from my side stopping the keywords impression.

wow - You are the first person I know that has a 50% ctr. congrats. if NOTHING in your campaign has changed, the drop could be due to Google showing you add less then it used to. You did not adjust budget or timers -right? If so, it if definitely Google, (doing no evil), showing you ads less often... Is there much competition on the KW?

Thanks for your reply.

No it is not a such competitive keyword. I am the only one. But I try it on different computer I see I am on position 1. I really tried 100 things to get that right still not working. I am not sure whether a keyword can have this much variation on impression on different days from 1800 impression to 100 .

hi
im am sorry but without actually seeing the respective info commenting on this is almost impossible

try running a search query report for the 1800 impression period
and for the current 100 impression period

and then testing the respective queries in the ad tool to see whats differant
or testing the searches in the ad targeting preview tool

never increase your bids to $100 under certain circumstances that can cause you account to go under review
try a more moderate number of $5 and leave it that way for a couple days

Why would that cause a review? No advertiser knows what is behind reviews.

dramatic increases in bid or spend has been known to trigger a review

has been known

No judge would accept that in the court. You're in jail. ;)

Sounds like a guess.

not a guess
experience

i have had my account put under review the last time i did something that stupid
(i did the same thing to a succesful account bout 1.5 years ago)
i wanted to see the maximum bid so i raised my bid all the way up

no other changes were made to that respective account in a 1 week period

thanks smallcompany for making me admit my previous mistakes
