Why does admob take so long to approve ads
 

Hey guys,

Ever since google took over admob, i have noticed it now takes AGES for an ad to be approved. I created my campaign back on December 12th, it is now the 23rd... It used to be 48 hours max. I have also read that admob discontinued their email contact service (why in the world), so i also cannot contact them to get a status update!! :mad:

My guesses are that there is just a huge influx of people posting campaigns? Anyone know why its taking so long, or how to contact admob support?

Thanks,
Ben :)

I have run into the same issue. I have ads now waiting for 2 weeks and still "pending approval". The strange thing is that one of the ads I set up was dis-approved because the landing page was not mobile optimized.

That took only 2 days. So, if they are looking at the ads that quickly, why are they not approving them to run? Is there network overloaded? Just seems strange to me.

It took 3.5 weeks to get my last ad approved with admob, no idea why and couldn't find a a way of contacting them either. I have moved to Buzzcity as I offered this service to clients and can't take the risk of never knowing when the ads will be approved. Admob sucks now IMO

I'm just doing some research on Buzzcity. Do you mind telling me if you're seeing decent results with them? I just created a new camapign and I was diappointed with the targeting and tracking options.

I've got my ad still pending for approval for 2weeks now with admob..
Buzzcity on the other hand is fast with approving an ad, it might take a day or 2
and i got some decent results.. Great way to build your list
