Hey it's not been 5 days and my ads aren't showing. I'm bidding 1.50 $ which it says is enough to get in the top 3. It says active everywhere, but actually in grey which I don't know is normal or not. I have a quality score of 7-8 and I should get many clicks a day. When I hover over the ad it says the ad is not showing! And it's been saying that forever, but still, it says its active. This is a new account, I've confirmed it, and I used the 250 dollar starting coupon to get 250 free dollars. But I've also confirmed with a credit card and I'm using prepay billing. I'm getting furiously mad, it's a huge campaign and it has many ad groups, but well it's not that big. Just as I thought Google Adwords was going to help me. I contacted them 4 days ago, or 5, and they still haven't answered. This is just dumb, and great. Yesterday I started another campaign with simular stuff in it but all done much better, its now been over 12 hours, and nothing. It says its active but then when you hover over it it says no. And I can't check it myself because I live in Iceland and these ads are only for U.S, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. Anyone know what is wrong?

Log into your Google Adwords Account - Click "Tools" Tab followed by "Ads Diagnostic Tool" (not the Keyword Tool). Click the circle next to "All Keywords in Campaign" then select a Campaign from the drop down box. Fill out the rest of the Option 1 Portion of the form. From there, it will perform a test on your entire campaign and will show you exactly why your ads aren't showing. If it simply says you have to contact support, it means your AdWords account is under review and can take any where from a couple of hours to a few days. It will then give you a link to a special form used to contact the review department. I had my AdWords account under review four times in seven days, each lasting about five hours. Each time I passed their review and my ads started running again.
