Thanks! If you have some questions, feel free to PM me bro.

What do you see when you hover your mouse's cursor on the "accepted" state of your ads? Do you have the message like "we cannot determine why your ads are not showing up"? If yes, you have to wait couple of days. If you don't then you may have some review on your account or simple your bid isn't high enough (I recommend using manual CPC option). Did you warm up this account (have some dummy campaign that spent at least ~50$)? Did you make at least 1 payment to Google from this account? Btw thanks for good words! :D
Yes! This "we cannot determine why your ads are not showing up" is the exact message I see when I hover over the keywords.

And yeah, today is day 4 - The ad was running fine (getting clicks and impressions) on day 1 and day 2. But suddenly day 3 everything is 0.

It's most likely an account review that usually takes up to 24-72 hours, but once I had stopped ads for almost 6 days. I think waiting is the only solution in your situation. This kind of blocks/stops/account reviews can happen randomly after every action on the account - changing the ad text, budget, cpc, adding/erasing keywords, especially on the new accounts. From my experience - after a few weeks this either stops completely, or happen very rarely.

Yeah, I guess you are right about it. I'll just wait it out for a few days and see what happens. Thanks again and good luck on your journey too.

I am just direct linking to the offer. Advertiser uses redirect after the first offer that I am promoting, and is earning for completing 2nd, 3rd and further offers. I am gladly giving them to earn more so they can give me higher EPC :) The more they earn, the better rates and EPC I have.

Hi you are running only Search ads and exact match or phrase match keywords.
Also this means you are promoting only one game right?

Wow, great performance that last day. I am not sure I understand the method, though. :) If you don't mind me asking a few questions about it.

First: How does Blue Moon media fit into this, isn't Google Ads your advertising network? What is a BH Product?

Sorry for sounding like a newbie (but I am, it seems).

1. I am running only search ads - I have 1 Campaign with 19 Ad Groups, each one has 1 keyword in three forms - broad modifier, exact, and phrase. So I have a total of 57 keywords split into 19 Ad Groups. Each Ad Group has only 1 Ad - so I have 19 similar Ads that are nearly the same, they only differ in the usage of certain keyword in the text - so for example first Ad has the title "keyword 1", and the second has "keyword 2". I also change the display path to be like that: mysite.com/keyword1/2/3 and so on in every Ad.
And yes, I am promoting only one game - main theme is "complete an offer to get currency in this game".
I've been doing the same. Good luck man, I'm following.
Thanks! Good luck to you too!

Sorry for sounding like a newbie (but I am, it seems).
I am advertising my Ads on Google Ads, paying them for every click I get from Google Search. Visitors go to my website where I am offering them getting some virtual in-game currency in one of the most popular games nowadays in exchange for completing the offer. This offer is an non-incent e-mail submit offer from Blue Moon Media network. I am getting paid for every successful completion of this offer (lead). The key is to pay Google Ads less money that I am earning from all leads on Blue Moon Media. BH is a shortage from black hat - it means the segment of the market that deals with "immoral" and rather fishy ways to earn money on the internet. Feel free to ask me more if it's still unclear bro :)
Thanks bro, will surely PM you soon :)
Okay, waiting :)


I'll write a report for the yesterday shortly.

Hello!

This is the report from my seventh full day with my Google Ads campaign.

So, how did my campaign perform on the 28th of August (CEST)?



Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$106.96
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 1344
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.08
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$108.56
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $150.50

Summary of the day: +$41.94

I am so tired after work today so I will summarize it quickly today - I lowered CPC too much so I had to increase it just a little bit after ~14 hours. Yesterday's profit was bigger than the day's before, as expected. Average CPC is great as it is, but my goal is to lower it to ~$0.06-$0.07. Hope I'll manage that :) Thanks to everyone who follows my journey, it is a pleasure. If you have some questions, please ask me - I'll try to answer on every as fast as I can. Cheers!
