Hey, I'm new to IM and started with facebook, I recently created ads (tuesday), all images used and text are to their TOS and it's been over 48 hours now since I submitted my ads and they are still "under review"...
I can clearly see click throughs from my prosper202 so I know that people from FB have clearly seen them..(some of them now have around 50 clicks)...and yet nothing; no emails, no rejections, no status updates...so what is taking so long and has this happened to others before?

Thanks,

    They take a while sometimes.
    The filtering system is becoming stronger because of so much spam. Give it max 12 hours and if nothing then contact facebook or resubmit.

    It can take 48 hours. It sucks but be patient.

    Facebook ads seem to be much faster than some other ad services. I have waited 10+ days for Google. In fact I wont even use Google anymore because there service is so poor.

      I hate Adwords. I will never pay for Google ads again.

    lol..but you can focus well

    Anyways..my friend literally just submitted ads like two hours ago (quite a few ads)...all of them approved! Im still under review for my ads...isn't there a queue system or do they just choose randomly..? We are both in the same bracket as far as budget goes so..

    Yeah Im having the same issue at the moment...i submitted my ads yesterday around midday and I still haven't had any luck. It's the first time I have implemented a tracking link as the destination URL in all my ads. So maybe that has something to do with it?

    Hmm who knows...

    If I don't hear anything after midday tomorrow then I will get in contact with them..(although it will probably take a century to hear back from them) =/

    I recently stopped Facebook ads after having some nightmares with their approval process! Finally i solved it but I still stopped using it (for now) after spending around 1.5k on them.

    Here's a tip for people who had problems with approving a squeeze page: Make an app in your fan page (hopefuly you are using one already) and add build the squeeze page there! It will get approved 100% (in my experience) and the traffic will be cheaper, although it might convert worse too.

    Maybe some of you might know this... but for people who don't: try it! it works...
