Adwords Approval Length?

[joevis]

Just started up with Adwords again after like 5 years. How long am I looking at before they approve/deny my ad?

I just had an image ad on the Content Network that took 10 days.

I submitted some more last night that took less than 8 hours.

10 days? That's pretty crazy. They must be taking a huge income hit from taking so long to approve ads.

Bro, my shit has been pending for 14 days. I can see them clicking through my shit, yet they aren't approving anything. I'm about to shit a brick.

Should've shopped around. I know you can get raped for free in numerous dark alleyways or most places in Texas.

Email them asking them to review it. That helps me get my ads approved faster.

So what's the deal with these guys now? If you submit the wrong ad, are you banned? Or do they just reject it like FB?

matches my findings to.
the trick is to make accounts faster than they can ban

My experience has been similar to that of rileypool, I've had ads that took 2 weeks, and then ones that got approved within 6 hours or so.

What does it mean when the cocksuckers at google 'okay' your ad over 24 hours ago but you don't get any impressions?
