Sorry for the long post :o :
Hi,
I used to have one Adwords Campaign with all my keywords. I recently decided to make seperate campaigns inorder to make specific ads for groups of keywords, to improve my CTR etc.
Unfortunately, ever since I did this, my ads are NOT showing for any of the campaigns. When I made the different campaigns, my ads for some keywords were showing (e.g. 'hello' in a particular Campaign). However most of my main keywords were not (e.g. 'goodbye' in the same Campaign).
I tried the Ads Diagnostic Tool for the keywords which didn't show, which told me that the CTR did not meet the minimum requirement - but the ad had never even shown, not 1 impression so how could it meet the requirement if it was not given the chance?! Later it told me that the CPC is lower than the recommended, but I also set it to £60 and still got the same error! :mad:
When I checked my Adwords later that day, I was horrified to realize another problem - none of my ads were showing! The Ads Diagnostic Tool stated that my daily budget has been reached and exceeded when it clearly hadn't! :eek:
So, I tried raising the daily budget but it made no difference. I eventually deleted all the campaigns and made them again.
The same problem occured. Most of my ads were showing except my main ones e.g. 'goodbye' as mentioned above. But then 5 minutes later none of my ads were showing and the Ads Diagnostic Tool, again, said my daily budget had been reached - my budget was more than enough and the Budget Recommendation Tool informed, 'Budget is OK'!
As you can see, because of this, I raised my daily budget for all of my campaigns to £5000, a figure my campaign can never reach and the Ad Diagnostic Tool still said my daily budget has been reached and exceeded!
I have also noticed that although my ads appeared for the first 5 minutes of the Search results, they have NEVER appeared for Content results eventhough I have turned it on.
Something else which I have realized is that when using the Ads Diagnostic Tool - I search for the a keyword I get the error:
Ad not shown | Reason: Your campaign has reached and exceeded its daily budget.
However, when I use Option 2: Search Results Page URL of the Ads Diagnostic Tool and I type in the URL for for the keyword search -
I get the error:
Ad not shown | Reason: The user is located outside your campaign's geo-targeting area.
But I am sure USA - .com has been selected in My Campaign.
This morning, I saw that my campaigns, altogether, had very few impressions and clicks - much less than usual and I used the Ads Diagnostic Tool - and to my surprise - 'Budget Exceeded'!
Hope you can help!
-Thanks :)
