    Alright guys,
    What's the crack with that? How long does this "review" usually take? I have a sports team name in my add - and even then, its not the full sports team name. Is it usual for stuff like this to go under review? Very frustrating... :|

    You're under review (the software finds something that warrants it and a human must take a look) so you get put at the end of the line. The longer the line, the longer it takes (just like at the supermarket). If more people are manning the registers, it goes faster.

    Most sports leagues I know want to protect their teams' trademarks and you can't use them in your ads. You can't use NY Yankees or even just Yankees for example, if it refers to the baseball team.

    I see.... I'm running virtually the same ad in Facebook (first time with that) and they're fine with that. However, another unusual phenomena happened.

    I got like 3000 impressions, 6 clicks, and theyve stopped showing it.

    http:// www. nickycakes.com/facebook-impression-mystery-solved/ <- seems to be the theory

    It's probably due to my £5 daily limit (I'm only testing!). Think I'll throw that up a little bit now, since I got my first lead :) and my landing page is shite, so probably a fluke...
