Google Content Network Delays?

[invisible777]

Anyone seeing a long delay in getting new content network campaigns approved over the last 4-5 days? Particularly image-only content network campaigns which need the manual review?

I've had new campaigns sitting here for days which should be chugging along by now. Maybe it's just me.

Yes, my campaign recently took 5 days to get approved.
Then my spending went down and my conversions went up.

The fastest way to do it, is personally call up google.

I started a new campaign on friday and emailed google saying I need to get approved asap, they called me back in 2 hours and said it has been approved.

Yeah - this was recently discussed in this thread.

It took Google almost 10 days to improve some image campaigns I had uploaded for content. Finally on friday they got approved - but just because I had to nag them twice about it over a chat.

One of the ads have had a consistent 1.11% CTR since friday, so it was worth the wait.

Yiikes. Google's approval process is going the way of Yahoo lately, it seems. Thanks for the heads up.

I've even had issues with text ads on the content network, while the same text ads for search ads have been running for a while.
