Has anyone else noticed the approval time for new campiagns is getting longer and longer ............ Its used to be almost the same day, the last campiagn I setup is going on for two weeks and still has not started ?? Marx
Is the adgroup active but not getting impressions? If so, check out the ad diagnostics tool from the tools tab in your account. it might explain what's going on. I'm having no problems setting up new ads. They take a few days to ramp up before getting the most impressions, but they do start showing right away.
I am experiencing the same problems. I recently started new site targeted campaigns - the very first ones - with a site which already has a keyword targeted campaign. And more than one month later, the campaign has still not been approved ! Would GG be lazy or just trying to save $$$ by not hiring enough staff?
I was thinking of setting up a google adwords campaign and I'm very suprised to hear of such a delay, this was normally something you thought of when you think of Yahoo (if you decided not to take them up on their $199 offer to set up your account) Could it also have something to do with what you're trying to market?
WOW! I am actually surprised to hear of people stating they have waited weeks or even months for approval. That is quite foreign to me for I have never seen anything take more than a few hours to get up and running. There has to be more to the story here. For those experiencing these huge delays, what else can you tell us?
I don't know. First, I thought it was due to the fact my new campaigns were adult campaigns (adult dating sites). But then, I tried to set a site targeted campaign with my disabled dating site, which had already a keyword targeted campaign running for a few months, and I am still waiting... more than one month later. I just don't get it
