How long does it take for Google Adwords Ads to run on the Content Network?...

Hello fellow warriors,

I had my ads approved by Google to run on the content network abut after a few hours they are still not running, not even a single impression.

How long does it normally take for the ads to run on the content network from the time of approval?

Is there anything I need to do?

Thanks,

Mark

There's a lot of reasons.

You are not bidding high enough.
You have no money in the till.
The keywords you chose are inactive or not very active.
Your ad still may be under review.
Your ads may have been suspended.
Your keywords are way too competitive.
You have not enabled the ads.

In reality it is about QS and bids. Both have to be high enough.

You might try position bidding. That is, spots #5 and below.

Thanks Paul- but the above isn't really relevant to the display network.

My ads have been approved and they are still not running in the content network (I opted out of the search network).

Does anyone else know what could be going on? Why my ads still are not showing?

Thanks
