Yes this ad is in a premium spot so if I just delete the premium listing will drop. However the ads are serving at a bizzare percentage so I can't tell if the other ad is approved or not. Here's the data, the first is the original ad:
78 Clicks ¦ 16.5% CTR ¦ $0.43 CPC Served - 99.4%
1 Clicks ¦ 33.3% CTR ¦ $0.49 CPC Served - 0.6%
The new ad was submitted on Monday and the data above is from today. I know it takes a while to get approved, but am really confused whats going on at this point.
Monday is probably the busiest day for approvals, so it's quite possible that it hasn't been looked at yet.
Although I'd recommend against making it a habit for every new ad or edit, you can certainly contact AdWords support, and ask about your ad's approval status.
