When you have an ad that is no good, you need to think what can be done to improve it. True you may have a good position in the first 5-10 pages but you still need to make improvements with the keywords.

Unfortunately frequently searched keywords are not always targeted for your specific market. They are the keywords that searchers begin their search with but not necessarily the ones that will bring potential customers to your website.
You will have to strike a happy medium between general keywords that draw the crowds and keywords that are more specialized and will bring in the sales.
