I have placed image ads on google adwords.
All my keywords show that they are active, and my ads are running - they have been approved.
Yet, i cannot see my ads anywhere, when i use th search tool through adwords, it tellls me that the there are no ads of mine that match that keyword.
I also want to know how can i get my site listed up on the first search page of google - what are the costs involved?
Can someone please assist me.
Thanx

Give it time, adwords does not update in real time, also make sure you bids are high enough and your quality score is not too low.

Do you mean on page one of the natural search results, or your google ad on page one?

The former requires lots of hard work optimising your site and pages, and can take months, with no guarantee what so ever (contrary to what some seo firms will tell you, no-one can guarantee to get you one page one for a normal searcher's search terms, they can just improve your position).

For google ads to appear on page one, you have to fine tune your ad, and use keywords that match up with what is in the google ad itself and those on your landing page. And you have to make a higher bid as well. But don't get carried away with bidding more and more, or you could use up your monthly budget very quickly.
