We are bidding on term "xyz whatever" and google has marked the term with those little red stars normally indicating that we arn't bidding enough. However when I look at the text it says

"*** Your maximum cost-per-click is high enough to display your ad in all of the countries you have targeted except those shown above. If you want your ad to reach those countries, please set your maximum CPC to at least the amount indicated"

But we have selected "all languages" and "all countries" for this entire campaign :confused:

And in addition when I try to search on the term our ad is shown on top. (And another weird thing: we dont get any impressions on this term but it's way to common not to be searched....?)

You're probably showing in countries other than the US. Are you outside of the US when you're viewing your ad?

Yes in fact im in Denmark. Where excatly am I supposed to look to find this: Your maximum cost-per-click is high enough to display your ad in all of the countries you have targeted except those shown above Above where?

At the moment im only bidding half of what is suggested and my average position is 3.2. Is this only the average position of all non-us searches?

This can also be attributed to your low click through rate. If the creative does not draw a certain amount of click throughs then google will pull your site off and ask you to change your sales text so that it generates a higher click through ratio. I've had this happen to some of our terms. I've since replaced the old sales text with a much better one and still pay the same amount per click. In your case, it sounds as though your Max Bid is simply not high enough. I believe that it needs to be high enough for all countries selected, or it will not show at all.

Good luck:rolleyes:
