Weekends (especially sundays) naturally slow for new campaign to kick in?

    Just wondering if weekends influence how soon keywords start showing, i setup a new campaign today, new url, niche......

    Keywords show as active, been a few hours, im guessing i just need to be patient? :)

    Its saying the usual couple of suggestions, ie: delay in the system etc may cause it.

    Stuff that has to be reviewed such as campaigns on content or placement, have to be reviewed before going 'live' and nothing gets reviewed over the weekend.

    Earlier this year when i started 2 campaigns they were almost instant, i guess i was just lucky with that.

    So this is normal with the majority of launched campaigns? i mean for the review.

    Ironic isn't it, we cant earn from it and neither can they, seems crazy to not have 7 days a week reviews.

    This is for search only.

    Edit: Ever seen any connection between max cpc set on brand new campaigns and them not taking so long to start, ie: does google pass through a new campaign quicker because you set the max cpc to £1.50 or £2.00 as opposed to the campaign that yu just created that has a max cpc of 5 pence?

    Sound paranoid i know, but 2 previous campaigns around the £1.50 - £2.00 max cpc had no probs and were up and running in no time.

    It's also crazy that in a world online that operates 24/7 google is not open on weekends at all... :)

    I find it ridiculous, its already putting me off using it, its not acceptable to have to wait 5 days or more for ads to start running, its putting business on hold.
