I tried AdWords a few years ago and it cost me far more than the sales it returned. I wanted to give it another try so I set my camaign to "Enabled" and the status has been "Eligible" for over 24 hours now and no impressions or clicks have been made. Shouldn't the status be "Running" or something like that? How do I get the campaign started again and not just "Eligible"? Thanks
Eligible means your campaign IS running, at least, nothing wrong at the campaign level that would prevent it from not running.
My best suggestion would be to contact Adwords Support directly, using the flow which starts on the page referenced below, while signed in to your account.
Add must be in approved status.Ans keywords status must be running then it means your add is running some where.
