New to Adwords...taking best ads from Overture

Ads say "showing", but aren't. please help

[JMan2323]

I'm new to Adwords. I've been using Overture with good results, & have taken my best ads to Adwords.

My adwords account shows that my ads are running...but I do not see them when I search...even multiple searches brings up nothing.

My account is also showing no clicks or impressions. It states that this may take 3 hours to update..however it's been about 8 hours...what's up?

Thanks!

Wait a little longer. New campaigns often take 24 hours to get up and running and deliver stats.

Adwords has a tool that will tell you why your ad isn't appearing. Log onto adwords end click on your ad group. At the top you'll see a "Tools" link. Take it from there.
