AdWords not displaying after 4 days.

Hi there, here goes my first post:

Right, I signed up for adwords about 4 days ago and all ads are active. I know that google has to review these ads, but how long does it take. Signing up was kind of wierd, and it it didnt tell me anything or send me any emails about reviewing my ad (found out from other sites).

Should I be worried? or is this quite normal?

Also, this site is amazing, exactly the kind of place ive been looking for

Assuming everything is set up right you should be able to see your ads by now. Was this a a brand new AdWords account? If so, I know there are sometimes lengthy delays with new accounts getting activated.

 

What site did you put the ads on? If it is banned or has porn or something, you might have trouble putting adsense on there.

 

It is a brand new account. I havent specified which site its on, but what keywords are used.

 

sometimes take up to 5 business days for new accounts to have the ads running.

Also you may experience that even after they are running they pause for a entire day due to some kind of "account under review" status.

 

Ok, great, thanks for the help guys!!

(ill probably be back with some more queries soon! )

 

This is AdWords...not AdSense

 

Ad's are still not showing, its been about 9 days now!, should I drop them an email? or is this common?

 

contact AdWords staff - 9 days is not common.

 

ok, will do now, thanks

 

i emailed them 2 days ago now, no mail and ads still arent working.

One thought, will my das be rejected if they are for a forum? and the site is under construction?

although it doesnt say rejected either.

 

Probably you'll get an answer today

No problem for forums and they would be say that it is reject they would not ignore you.

 

woo hoo! they are up and running! thanks for your help guys! really appreciate it!

 

Did the AdWords team give you any reason for the extended delay?

 

they sent me an email, and just said that they were reviewing it.
