I created four different ad campaigns (all unrelated web sites and keywords) over 36 hrs ago, but there are not been 1 ad displayed for any of them. No stats at all!

They are targeted Worldwide and they are Active. Max CPC is in the "dollars" value.

My method of billing is post-pay so my ads should be appearing.
I have had campaigns in the past and had no problem - these are the same ads.

Could anyone shed some light on a possible cause of this?

Thanks,
Jon.

There are at least 3 things you can do:

1. Write from your account to Google support and ask them what's going on.

2. Search for your ads directly on Google and using "Ads Diagnostic Tool".

3. Keep in mind that if your KWs are flagged as "sensitive" (adult content or others) they need a human review that could take a couple of days.

There are also other possible problems (CPC bigger than daily budget - usually by mistake, daily budget too small, etc)

Please keep us posted with the results, as there could be many people interested in this issue.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, halbesma!

Mike-ppc is right on the money with his suggestions. To his list, I'd also add making sure that you actually still have an ad. Sometimes advertisers accidentally delete their ad when they are actually intending to delete some keywords.

And it's pretty hard to get impressions when there are no ads to show. ;)

Oh! And make sure you are looking at an appropriate 'date range'. I'd suggest 'All Time' as a first check, as it's the setting that will show you all your stats.

My bet, though, is that you have keywords which are considered sensitive, and which will require review before showing, even on Google.
