Why am I nowhere to be found in Google's Ad Words?

Question

I just began advertising my company with Google's Ad Words. Only problem, I'm nowhere to be found. I increased my budget, but that didn't help. They say I'm receiving impressions, but I cannot find my website under any of the keywords that I used when I set up my account. What's the secret of getting some exposure? Please Help!

Answer 1

Your ad is probably way down - you really need to be on the first page in the top few to do any good.
In Adwords you have the option when you go into 'Edit Campaign Settings' to 'Enable Position Preference'. This means you get to select where your ad is placed i.e. first 3, 1 - 7 etc.
Obviously the amount of money that is needed to be bid will dictate this to a major extent.
If you want to try, set a budget limit and up your bids until you can get them into say the first 7.
Try that for a few days and see if you are getting any traffic and sales.
Use Google Analytics to track your site.

The awful truth about google ad-words is that unless you are willing to pay for the prime buzz words( the words that cost 5.00 a pop and more) You will not get many hits in a market that is highly populated, you get buried in the masses so to speak. This is only my experience. Good Luck.

Try to narrow down your keyword range and using niche keywords. Optimize a better ads title to increase your CTR. Adwords ranking is not fully depend on how much you bid.
