Default This Adwords crap is rediculous!

Man this frustrates me to no end....


I open a new google adwords account and try and start a new campaign....well every keyword I but in there regardless of whether its broad match, or exact or whatever says "inactive........ 10.00 bid"

No matter what I do it does this I have put 1100 different keywords in there and every stinking one says that...

Then I get onto google live chat and I get some dumb woman who never answers my stinking question straight...so I finally disconnected after she wated 20 mins of my time....


I would rather someone coach me how to do this stuff or better yet me pay them and they set it up...cause this is fricken unreal how annoying it is!

ok end of rant!

change your landing page.... it has nothing to do with the keywords.
if you direct link to an affiliate offer, getting goole slapped is normal.

How targeted is your landing page? Content? Keywords?

Being a brand new account certainly doesn't help, especially if you are going after high volume keywords. You should really start with something pretty tightly targeted and build the account's quality slowly.

If you've got 1000 keywords, no single landing page is going to get a good quality score for all of them.

I don't use Adwords, but even I know the quality score formula depends on your using a specific and relevant keyword, a phrase that exactly matches the ad, that exactly matches what's on the landing page. Start from the finish line, the landing page, take the most specific terms on the page to build the matching ad and keyword list. If that fails, it could be your CB landing page is not a specific enough niche. Build a mirror of the landing page that briefly presells the actual page, and link it to the landing page.

Now you have a vehicle you can edit to match your ads and keywords---so pack that presell LP with enough relevant or specific keywords to satisfy Google. Or create several versions of the presell page (corresponding to your different keywords) all linking to the actual landing page.

Is your destination URL a redirect? Or, are you sending traffic to your own page? I'm confused as to what exactly you are doing.

Its a godaddy domain I bought that's forwarded to my CB affiliate link...and even when picking a keyword that matches exactly what the website is all about still 10.00 when I entered 1,000 keywords (never ran them) not one of them didnt have that 10.00 deal in it...

I would say you found your problem. Try setting up a targeted landing page on your domain.

I figured out the issue...in the affiliate page they showed to put their site in the shown URL and my url in the destination URL.....I switched both of the addresses to my site address not the affiliate for the shown ones and it fixed the issue....no more 10.00 crap.....now why couldnt google just say that to me!

Now how do I avoid the google slap from happening once I get these up and going?
