New adwords campaign still not up after 24 hours?

[scrappyandsheila]

Hi All,

New here - hoping someone can help...

I just created a new campaign for our company, and included about 400 keywords. Everything seemed to go fine, but I've noticed that it's still not showing up.

I'm bidding *very* high, so my ad should be appearing near the top (then I normally reduce the bid after I get some clickthroughs). There's nothing.

The word tracker, overture, and google keyword tools indicate that the keywords I used should be getting a lot of traffic.

Has this happened to anyone else?

The keywords relate to a well-known drug that was recently pulled off the market, so maybe google's overloaded with queries or something?

Do you have daily limits set? possibly the ad is there but rotation is causing it only to be show very sporadically.
AdWords will post your ads and then the editorial people look and will take down inappropriate stuff... Overture has to go through editorial before posting and they are doing some type of upgrade this weekend... where notices they would be down as far as control panel etc. this weekend.

You should also double check the countries where you want your ads to show. This may not be the problem if you added the keywords manually - but if you uploaded your ads from a spreadsheet they *may* not have been set up for the countries you wanted.

Did you upload into the system or submitted to be entered for you?
