Hey guys,
I'm sure there is a simple answer to this question.
I have created by Google Adwords campaign, and have given it some time to run(just 3 hrs :) ), anyway when I went in there to look at the stats for my campaign I found that there was a 24 in the Impr. column. What does that mean? What does Impr. mean?

Hi daveboz,

It means your adds are showing in content network (it shows on other people's websites that have adsense adds).

That usually converts badly. So if I was in your place I would go into campaign settings and untick the box that says content network.

Cheers

Actually, Impr. just means the number of times your ad has been displayed. I can't know for sure if these have been on the search network or content network.

Yes Sean is right. Sorry about that.

But check out the content network anyway. If you want to keep it at least set a much lower bid for it than you have on search. 5 cents or something like that. It can eat your budget very fast usually without any results. I tried it once and never again.

Yeh, good advice there crowzy. I remember when I first used adwords, the only way I could get any traffic was via the content network. I spent a few dollars but never made a sale and wondered why.
