I suspect that my CTR ( .8%) is keeping me off the content network. Can anyone verify that?
I started a new campaign where I selected both the search and content networks. A few weeks have gone by and I still have no impressions for the content network.

roundabout, I don't think it's your CTR that is at work here.
There are a couple of major things that need to be in place for your ads to show on partner sites - which are:
* Ads must be reviewed and approved, and;
* Ads must be positioned appropriately on Google
Two weeks seems like an awfully long time for an ad to have gone unreviewed, but it's possible it may have slipped through a crack somewhere. So, I'd for certain advise contacting AdWords support, and asking them to take a look at your account. They should be able to quickly tell you what the situation is, and get your ads reviewed if they have not yet been.
Regarding the 'appropriate position' I mentioned above, this will vary by partner site - but usually ranges from 3 to 8 or so. For this reason, if your ads are appearing very low in the results, it is quite possible that they won't go to partner sites because of their postion on Google.
Anyway, I hope that you'll contact supprt, as they can get to the bottom of things in short order. ;)

Thanks so much for the info! I will contact Adwords support and see if they can resolve.
