maybe it is not the glow plug itself but the ignitor; are you sure you charged it right? the usually need many hours(~15) to charge the first time....

What they meant is that you should make sure your ignitor is fully charged or you have a new battery in order to make sure the plug is good or bad. You are probably running your car t0o lean or too rich and it fouling or burning up your glow plug. Check the running temp of the engine and make sure you have smoke coming out from idle to full speed.
