I just found my ad on the 55th page of ads. To do that, I had to click
'next' 54 times.  Is there a short cut method for registered
advertisers to find what page they are currently on?

And would not the only clickers on a 55th page be just other
advertisers nearby? At least mostly so!

Hi Pepsi88.  That is an excellent question. I have no idea what the
answer is.  I myself just spent $250 over a months time and didn't get
anything out of it.  That was a lot of money for me.  I know it's not
a lot of money for advertising because advertising is expensive but it
was a lot of money for my budget.  I say that since we didn't get
anything out of the paid ads we try to support each other and promote
each other.  My site is the same as my name.  What is the name of your
site?
I would love to check it out.  You can email me the information at
[email address] or post it here.

If your ad is at the 55th page, you're either selling a VERY common
product, or advertising on too broad keywords.

I'm not an expert, but I am hoping you have some kind of "special
something" to push as your advantage (service or else) or are
targetting some specific customers, region of the world or
something...

Google Search is all about "relevant" search results, therefore ads
too, need to be "relevant", that's why they give you a "quality score"
and that your CPC is depends on it as much as the CTR. CTR that gives
you a good indication of how "relevant" your ad is already to the
search query... use the reports to figure out what people searched for
to prompt your ad, and narrow down your keywords.
You may get "less" impressions, but higher quality leads, therefore a
lower cost per conversion.

Cost per conversion should be your ultimate goal.

Hello pepsi88

I would suggest relying on your account statistics, rather than
continually searching for your ad. When you look at the statistics for
your keywords in the ad group view, you will see a column for Avg Pos,
or Average Position. This is a factual and accurate accounting of the
average of all your ad's actual positions, for all it's appearances,
per keyword, during the date range at which you are looking.

If you set your account to view the statistics for 'Today' you will
see your average position for all appearances during the current day.
Viewing the stats for 'Yesterday' will show you the average position
for all appearances during the previous 24 hour day, working midnight
to midnight Pacific Time.

If you must actually see your ad to feel comfortable, I'd suggest that
you use the ad preview page, as discussed at the page linked-to below.
This tool allows you to see your ads, along with those of your
competitors, without accruing an impression.

Please note that if you have targeted many different countries, it is
very likely that your ad will appear in different positions in each
country, dependent upon the competitive landscape for your keyword in
that country.
