    I made an add campaign, added like $30 to my account and set my budget etc just so I can test adwords see how it works, but it has been 3 days and im not getting any impressions.

    My site is made entirly in flash (as most of my advertising is done offline in newspapers, magazines and direct marketing).

    I put a little box under my flash media thing, and added google adsense to try and jump start it (obviously didnt help). Is there something im missing.

    Everything looks good except when I move my cursor over the little eyeglass thing it says

    
Keyword Analysis: Address List
 
Ad showing?
		No
The keyword phrase doesn't currently trigger any of your ads.
There are several possible reasons your ad isn't showing for this keyword, such as:

    * You just added the keyword to your campaign. You may experience a short wait as your keyword goes through the review process.
    * Our server is experiencing a delay.
    * Your ad delivery is being spaced throughout the day.

    Your account and campaign is awaiting review because it's new. You are currently in a queue. You can bypass the queue by contacting Adwords and asking them to review your account and campaign now.

    Just to clear something up-did you add AdSense to the page you are advertising? If so, since your site is entirely in Flash, AdWords may be assuming your site is an Arbitrage site, using AdWords for the purposes of showing other ads, which is against the Terms of Service. This will cause your ads to be rejected or not shown.

    If that's wrong, please let us know.

    I added adsense simply to see if it would help.

    My site detects if someone doesnt have flash and gives them some info instead.

    I think im just in that waiting for them to check it off stage. Thanks Masterful +rep

    I am having the same problem right now also except my account is not new. I paused a campaign and started it again, plus added one more campaign with the same keywords and still no impressions but it says everything is ok. It's probably been around a week now.

    Maybe they are just really swamped with reviews and also they don't review on holidays or weekends.
