Today I created a new ad with placement targeting on one of the forum(accepts placement targeting) with my adwords account, with search is off and content is on and my ad is not running, can anyone help?
Is Google telling you that it's not running or is it just the fact that you havn't had any impressions?
From my experience it can take hours or up to a whole day before you start seeing impressions when setting up a campaign with placement targeting. if thats not the problem, another guess would be that one would probably have to bid very high to get their ad shown on a high traffic forum. you may be being outbid.

Can I just add to what chuck d has said, that the publisher can 'block' your ad if he doesn't like the look of it.
It may take up to a week to get your ad approved on every site you are doing placement. Just wait a bit more and then maybe add more url's to your placement campaign.
I have found with new Google accounts that it takes some time before the placements start happening. I think also the amount you bid affects how many impressions you get for your ad so play around with your bids and daily budget until you start seeing the amount of impressions and clicks that you are hoping for.
This happened to me too. I was trying to get my ads on gas buddy with a very relevant site but it maybe only appeared a couple of times. I didn't waste my time or effort to fix it. I hate incompetent programs. Now I use my PPC Web Spy Tool to do my keyword research for me.
It really takes time.. I agree with other members... Try seeing the results after one or two weeks. till then you can monitor the control panel of google.
