Every new campaign or Ad group I set up won't go live - Please Help!

For the last two days all the new ad groups that I'm adding won't go live.

I can set up a campaign like normal, go through the whole procedure of creating the ad group to the end and the press save ad group. The campaign and ad group appear in my campaign list as they should but the ad isn't showing for anything.

Now I know the normal reasons are

- your ad is on hold to be approved
- your targetting low search keywords so no impressions have yet been generated
- Google's got a back log of ads to upload (it's been 2 days!)

But I'm 100% it's nothing to do with them.

I've had this problem a couple of times before - it's like the ad gets stuck and doesn't go live, so I delete the campaign and create a new one but I've tried it three times now. For example,

I've made a new ad group in a new campaign

I've made a new ad group in an old campaign that's still running properly.

But nothing. I've sent two emails to Google but no response. If anyones had a similar experience I'd really appreciate your insight.

Thanks

try raising you budget. this will kick start your ad

 

I have the same problem, I raised my budget to fit their guidelines and my ads still won't show up - even for crappy words that have 1 or 2 ads. I emailed them no responce I guess a budget of 150 a day is not enough for them to bother with.
Oh well my Yahoo ads should be running tomorrow, cheaper anyway.

 

Seen it many times. It's a waiting game. JimBoot once had this situation go on for fifteen days. Ugh.

 

have you tried the diagnostic tool in Adsense? It cmight help you to figure why it's not being shown.

 

4 days later and now it's working. Thanks for the replies though.
