New ad nor showing anything

Hey I need help. I posted a new ad campaign on ad.words a few days ago.. yet it has nothing, no impressions, no clicks. nothing. WHy is this? My bid is definitely high enough to get clicks. I dont understand. Could it be because it is an adult ad? Are they allowed? Its adult personals, I dont see why thats bad, g**gle didnt say anything to me but the ads arent showing. whats up?

I think "adult" ads automatically get flagged for manual review or something. Try running another campaign with a "regular" ad to see if the problem is with the ad or with your account.

When you view your keyword list, is there any indications as to quality score or that you may need to raise bids for certain keywords?

Also, are you sure that your keywords have any search volume?

haha oh there is search volume for my words, I do have another campaign running so i dont understand that. My bids are all raised above the minimum bid. So Im not sure. Maybe I should try again I dunno.

Hey mandude, did you ever find out what happened with this. I keep running into this problem too. It might have to do with vcc's or other forms of payment that go.og doesn't like. I would love to know if you resolved it and what you did.

I just started a new campaign and am quite nervous right now cuz i'm running low on cash and my staff is getting nervous cuz i haven't given them new work.

Trust me, i get why (other than the d.o.u.g.h) IM is so addictive.

Thanks for any other perspective

Contact Google Adwords support via the chat option. I was having this problem also and I found out that my account was temporarily suspended because of unknown third party access. They verified my account and my ads started running again. This is another possible reason for impressions not showing.

hey. My ad randomly started showing, like a week later or something. i was using vcc, but my other ad was running so it was odd. It stops me after I go over $50 though, so i didnt get much ad usage, and I was off to create a new account.
