Hi,
I've launched the campaign named “sidebar gadget” last week and it was working well when I use the keyword "side bar gadget" (space between “side” and “bar”) in the ad description and title. But the meaning is different between "side bar" and "sidebar". So, I've raised an exception while saving the ad that "sidebar gadget" is a technical keywords so, I wanted to use sidebar without space between “side” and “bar”. After raising an exception my ads got saved without showing any error and the status is active. But if I search, Google is not showing my ad. I tried many times and I'm the only competitor for some of my keywords and my daily budget is also high. So, I've changed my ad with space between “side” and “bar” yesterday. I got only one click and after that all my ads (having space between "side" and "bar") got disapproved. I don't know what the problem is. Why my ads are not showing if I am not using the space between "side" and "bar" and got disapproved if I use the space between "side" and "bar". Thanks.

Is "sidebar" (no space) a trademarked term?

here is the kicker... when I search for "side bar" it says "did you mean sidebar?" When I type in "sidebar" the ONLY paid is is Googles for their desktop sidebar?
Hmmm.....

Quite likely there is a huge amount of traffic for sidebar.... especially in broad match as it has legal connotaions etc.
If there is a small group of advertisers it only has the sucessful ones to use for the high end estimating what the terms are worth and allocation of impressions.

I had been running the same keywords for a few weeks and decided to try a new test. All I did was change the ads to make them match my content almost exactly.

The first thing that happened was that google's ISP showed as a visitor to my landing page... for 32 MINUTES! The next thing that happened (and is happenening right now) is that I am getting thousands of impressions and ZERO clickthrus. Although one of my ad groups show a search placement of 3.4.

Also - I raised my bid by a dime and then my search placement dropped to 3.6

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I would revert back to the old ad if it worked.... it is possible the new one just is not what people using the search words are looking for... may be a little too ambiguous

Hi all,
Before launching my press release I got some doubts.

How frequently we can launch the press releases?
Is there any particular time to launch the press releases (end of the week, or start of the week)
Please tell me the best timings for launching the press releases

Thanks...

Monday afternoon seems to be the optimum time.....

Sorry for repeating, but I think exactly the same :)
