    Normally, how long does it take for new ads to be approved? I launched a bunch yesterday but its still under "pending" in editorial status? Do these people work weekends or do I have to wait until Monday? Anyone know?

    Thanks! :)

    I've seen my ads take about 2 days to get through the approval process normally. No real explanation as to why from yahoo other then they are backed up.

    They try to get ads through the approval process within 48 hours of submition. There are probably thousands of people submitting ads at the same time so it does take a little time.

    No Weekends offs?? You might be kidding. Some work and some don't. At worst expect only in the April first week to see ur work done.

    What country are you running Yahoo Search Marketing at the moment? If it´s in the US, isn´t Yahoo Panama supposed to approve all listings automatically?

    I'm using Panama and have had to wait up to 48 hours for some approvals. Outside of instant approvals, I've seen some keywords greenlit in as little as 10 minutes.

    I guess it depends on what kind of ads you want.

    It only took me about 20 minutes for my ad to be approved. Then again, I signed up over the phone and they helped me create the zone. Very nice people at Yahoo, and you can talk to REAL PEOPLE FAST! :3

    I'm in the UK and my ads have been approved generally within 1-2 days (though I think the longest time was 2 weeks).

    How to understand, if ads are approved?
    I started new campaign yesterday. Campaign is active, all keywords are approved, no any alerts, but impressions and clicks are still 0..
    Is yahoo need additional time for ads showing?
