So my keywords were approved almost instantly, but here I am, still 24 hours later, waiting for editorial approval of my ad copy. Wonderful. And in the past 24 hours, while YSM has had their finger up their ***, Google has made $50 off of me. Will Yahoo ever learn?
Update. They rejected the ads because they claim the URLs don't work. Same URLs work just fine for Google. Same URLs work just fine when I paste them into my browser. I love YSM...
If the ads were declined and you know the reason for the decline is incorrect send them an email. If something was "declined" then that means it was a computer review that declined it. A human review is only done after the computer review and will show as "removed" if it doesn't pass the human review. if you send them an email with an explanation as to why the decline was wrong they will do a human review to confirm and, if it passes the human review, will go live in a couple of days.
Make sure you call them, I had a similar situation few months ago and after talking to them over the phone the ads got approved within a couple of days. Ivan
