		<description>If your budget isn&#039;t running out, and you have set your distribution to accelerated, then your advert will show.

However, as I said, you need to use the Adpreview tool - repeatedly searching for the same keyword on Google Search will give you different results. You can get more information here: http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=71301

However, I would suggest that you might want to spell-check your website before you put a lot of money into Adwords - since you&#039;re paying for each click, the conversion rate of your website is critical, and mis-spellings can have a very serious impact on it...</description>

		<description>The first thing to check would be your campaign settings. You should have advert distribution set to accelerated.

Do this, and Google will keep showing your adverts until your daily budget runs out.

If you&#039;ve already done this, then the only reason that Google won&#039;t show your advert is that you&#039;ve spent your daily budget. Reducing your bids will give you more clicks for the same spend every day.

If you aren&#039;t spending your full budget, and your campaign is set to &#039;accelerated&#039; then your advert should appear every time.

BUT! You should not check using www.google.com. You need to use www.google.com/adpreview, as repeatedly searching the same term will cause Google to vary the results (therefore your advert will seem to disappear).

Hope that helps,

		<description>Your Clickthrough Rate may be good, but in order for your Cost Per Click to fall, it needs to be better than the other PPC adverts.

If you&#039;ve looked at the example of how the Ranking Quality Score works, you&#039;ll see that if everybody has the same Quality Score, then it doesn&#039;t really matter whether it&#039;s very good or very poor.

As a result, the impact of a good Clickthrough Rate depends entirely on how much better it is than your competitors&#039; Clickthrough Rates.

In terms of how long it takes to see an improvement, it&#039;s very difficult to tell - it&#039;s not like the advert text, or the landing page, where the change is instantaneous. Google can&#039;t simply look at yesterday&#039;s Clickthrough Rate to determine today&#039;s Quality Score.

My guess, and it really is just that, is that they will take a weighted average of your Clickthrough Rate over time to determine how attractive searchers find your advert. If this is the case, then you&#039;ll probably see a gradual improvement over time, rather than a very sudden change as you might from (for example) putting the search term in your advert text.</description>

		<description>I was wondering if you&#039;d answer a specific question regarding initially bidding high on a keyword. I&#039;m finding that I&#039;m bidding high in a competitive niche but am in the top 3 and getting a decent ctr.

My question is specifically when would you expect to see CPC dropping, and if so by how much?

I realise this isn&#039;t cookie cutter and no one campaign is the same as another, but best guesstimates would be appreciated.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Each campaign will have its own Quality Score, which influences the positioning of the adverts in the results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it&#039;s only a small part of the Quality Score, which is far more strongly affected by the performance of individual keywords, advert text and landing pages (all of which are controlled within Adgroups, and can be controlled within a single campaign).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, there is one potentially very valuable advantage to having local campaigns - you can bid on the same keywords, with different adverts (just make sure that your areas don&#039;t overlap!).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, if you are bidding on the term &quot;Plumbers&quot;, you can advertise &quot;Plumbers in London&quot; if the searcher is in London, or &quot;Plumbers in Cardiff&quot; if the searcher is in Cardiff, etc. Even if they don&#039;t specify their location, you can still advertise a service locally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a result, you will potentially see an improvement in your clickthrough rate, and hence your adverts will appear higher for the same bids...&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>So if Google is rewarding people with highly relevent ads and keywords by giving them better quality scores, does it take regions into account? 

What I mean is would I be better off running individual campaigns for different cities rather than one nationwide campaign? Would regional campaigns get better quality scores?</description>
