WTF?

So have just paid £5 for activation, done my keywords but none of my keywords show up on searching.

So go to the Adwords Diagnostic Tools and for EVERY keyword I enter it tells me:

Ad not shown | Reason: Your ad delivery for this keyword has been slowed.

To ensure a positive user experience and the quality of ads within the AdWords program, Google constantly monitors the clickthrough rates (CTR) of all accounts to ensure they're performing as well as they should. We will slow the delivery of ads on keywords that fall below a minimum required CTR (which varies by ad position, but is 0.5% for the top position and slightly reduced for each subsequent position).


I don't understand this - how can I have a decent CTR when I've only just started.....seems like they've scammed me out of £5. Just because we're not one of the Big Boy Companies....ffs

Oh and its not like i'm not intending to spend much.....£30 per day and £0.50 per click.....
