Hi Guys

I have set up an Adword ad. And it hardly ever gets shown !

Just a quick question.

Do you own ads show up when you do searches ? or do Google filter out your own website or cookies etc ? In other words when I do searches should I see my own ad occassionally ?

You should see your ad all the time. I do anyway.

You can see your ad until your daily budget is over. Be careful that you should be in the country or region that your campaign targets.

Starting with a high price will usually get it shown and then lower the price to the optimum between position and cost!
