    Hey guys,

    I'm a bit of a PPC noob and have just tried to set up a campaign for one of the CB products I run. Only problem is that although the ad has been "approved", it's not showing up for ANY of the key words and is getting 0 impressions in the account either.

    Is this a common problem that any of you can help me fix?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Richard

    Adwords reporting isn't real-time so there'll be a 3 hour delay anyway when they do show.

    And unless you've got sufficient budget to cover every showing of an ad for a keyword, it won't necessarily appear whenever you do a keyword search

    It does take some time. If you Adwords account is relativity new, your ads may get approved on principal first, but them have to pass a human review to go live. Hang tight. If they are not up tomorrow, contact adwords support.

    When I first started PPC I couldn't find them either - I realized that I was maxing my budget out in a matter of seconds every reset.

    Are you just direct linking? I had this problem, Google doesnt allow direct linking to a affiliate product. You have to create your own landing page, and I would recommend using multiple landing pages so that you can test the effectiveness.
