"My Pool Of Advertisements" is empty

I am new to the CO-OP.

I have installed the php files and the site has validated.

I submitted 3 text ads 15 minutes ago.

I have read in the unoficial FAQ
http://co-op-faq.blogspot.com/2005/04/8-advertisement-inventory-management.html
that

But I don't see any of the ads submitted there
is that normal ?
will they display there only after approval ?

thanks for looking into that

 

If you submit text ads, you will need to complete the following fields:

-bullet for text ad
-Theme
-Language
-Anchor text
-destination url
-description

The first time I tried to enter a text ad, I did not compelete the description and I did not notice any error message. However, I tried it again with the description and my ad showed up in my pool of advertisements.

 

I would swear that I had all the fields filled out
since I tried 3-4 different times but maybe not ...

thanks mammarose for the pointer

how long does it usually take for them to be approved ?
after that the enabled ones will be displayed in the system "somewhere"
Does the system tell me where ? probably not !! only count right ?

 

I have had all my ads approved within 1 day. I don't think the system tells you where the ads are displayed, but they will count as backlinks to your site.
