Adwords Review Delay?

Long wait

This past Thursday I submitted some new ads to my adwords account. As of 10pm Monday night they are still not running to the whole network. Is there a backlog or something going on at the Plex? Usually, we get ads approved within 24 hours or so.

This may or may not be related. A couple of weeks ago we had one ad that was not approved because they said it had the wrong URL. I appealed that decision and a supervisor sent an email and said our URL was correct and approved the ad. Is there any kind of future delay that results when a person wins this kind of appeal? Just curious as to why this delay is happening. Ads are running great on Google.

You can never know what is happening with human review.

Best thing is to hit an email to Adwords and ask.
Someone could have just forgotten about your ads. Or, at least, they'll tell you what the situation is.

I submitted a new ad on Saturday morning, but it kicked off one of the prohibited phrases. I claimed an exemption and it went "pending review." Now I know ads rarely get approved over the weekend, but when it hadn't been approved by yesterday afternoon, I sent a quick e-mail to AdWords support. They replied that they it slipped through the cracks and was now approved and running. I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So send a polite note and see what happens.

Thanks. I just sent them an email, too. They are generally very fast at getting ads reviewed and running on the network.

Nope. Sorry for the delay MarkHutch, but I'd guess that it is simply circumstantial. Timing for the approval process can vary widely, depending on lots of hard to predict factors - such as how many advertisers all of sudden decide to submit many thousands of new ads, and so forth. ;)

I hope you're reviewed and approved in short order!

They started running tonight after I got a reply to my email from support. My guess is that a bunch of ads got submitted in the past week and they just got behind a bit.

This could be possible, Mark.

But I heard too many cases when kws were pending for a few days. After a polite email to Support, in less than a day, they began showing.

It seems to me that the baby that doesn't cry is not getting any .... attention
