Our account is from last September.
We already had some correspondence with Google. They replied that "Ads may run on Google before we review them. Therefore, you may see some ads appear for a short time on Google that do not comply with our guidelines. "
My ads run for a few hours before being disapproved. However, the sites I use as an example are showing these ads for days, weeks or maybe longer now.
Question to Google (to AWA): "Do let me know how me can match their ad campaign"
In other words, ads that break the "rules" will be picked up eventually.
