Anyone noticing some sloweness in campaigns kicking in? With one campaign it's particularly weird. I have 4 phrases, 1 estimated positions 7-10, 2 estimated positions 4-6 and another one estimated positions 1-3. It's been 2 days and still 0 impressions. Just doesn't make sense.
Maybe they are on the 2nd or 3rd page of search results. Use the Ads Diagnostic Tool to find out what the issue is.
Haven't noticed any problems in English. French and German however have been taking days to approve. Assuming that your words are in English, there are 3 possible reasons in my opinion: 1. Your ad hasn't been approved yet and you're running on content. Google will not display ads on the content network until they've been approved while on the search network you'll receive a trinkle of impressions until your ads are approved. Once they're approved on the search network they'll start "kicking in." 2. Something preference i.e. language filters, country filters, scheduling you may have clicked (or unclicked) by mistake. 3. Sometimes the simplest answer is the right answer:The keywords are just not looked up, try them in broad. And yes to all you smartasses out there. I've come across cases where there are 5 or 6 competitors on keywords that aren't looked up.
