Should I start over?

Should I start over?

I just created my ad for "search" and I forgot to turn the content network off. It didn't do too much damage. I wasted only 6 dollars but I have 4 clicks and 4,150 impressions which created a nasty 0.10% CTR. Should I just delete this ad and start over from zero so my CTR won't be complete crap? Or should I keep it and try to just work it up?

(By the way, I just disabled the content network)

Thanks,


UPDATE:

I also have one more question for you smart people out there.

In the Ad Rotation section of PPC, should I switch it to "Show Ads Evenly" so I can effectivley split-test both ads and see which one is the winner? I don't know if Mark metioned that already in his Split-Testing video because I haven't watched it yet but I was just curious as to whether I should make it more evenly (Rotate) or have the better ad be shown more often (Optimize).

Alright thanks, I just did that. And I just started over anyway. I think I made the right choice because my CTR is a lot better now.
