Approved keywords but no impression?

I waited for 3 days for keywords to be approved and finally got them approved (at least it said approved next to keywords). So how long does it take before ads start to appear on some of these keywords?

If someone can shed some light on this matter, I would be highly appreciated.

usually next day, but it also depends on the popularity of your keywords and your bid.

 

Do a search specific to your keyword or keyphrase, and see if you ad shows up. I did this for an ad I created and I saw my ad show up within less than an hour of setting up my ad campaign.
