Strange Campaign

    I don't really understand why my campaign is not starting. I created the campaign yesterday, and since yesterday the keyword status says:

    "The keyword phrase does not currently trigger any of your ads.
    There are several possible reasons your ad is not 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."

    I know that usually happens, when campaign has just been created, but now it's been almost 24 hours since is was created....The budget is high enough, QS is "Great", no problems with the ad.

    I am not sure about the landing page. Basically my display and destination url is a top-level domain redirected to my affiliate link, which I think is allowed by Google. Can that be the problem?

    Thanks for help in advance

    So how do I get around display url competition if I want to use direct linking?

    I have even tried to cloak my landing page to redirect to my hoplink, but still keyword status says:

    The keyword phrase does not currently trigger any of your ads.
    There are several possible reasons your ad is not 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.

    I can see people, who use redirects on adwords, but I don't understand how they do it.

    You campaign's awaiting review. That's why it isn't running. Most times they run while awaiting review; other times, they don't run until reviewed. This is usually when an account is new.

    Exactly. "when an account is new", but I have had my account for about 6 months, and my new campaigns should be showing results in max 1 hour.

    if you direct link you have to use the affiliates display url.

    Example

    If you are promoting a product on amazon.com then you have to use amazon.com as your display URL. You can't use your own display and then send to amazon.
