Haven't experienced this before- is this a tech glitch, an issue with a long queue (it's in another country/language), or a slap technique to prevent the campaign from running?
 


Same with me, but i still 2 days one of my campaign doesn't show any impression report. Eventough i raise bid 200%
Maybe big G tired..
 
Try to contact the support via google live chat, sometimes it just takes a kick in the ass for them to respond.
 
They took 4 days to approve my ads (both text ads and display ads) last week and all I did was change the destination url. Never had them take that long before.
 
Call them or chat with them to move things along. They claim ads should go through the approval within a few business days, and their reps can actually provide some help if it's longer than that.
 
I usually see my display ads approved within 1 business day if they're going to get approved at all. If it takes much longer than that, there's a quality issue that they're not telling you about. (What else is new? There's almost always some issue they're not telling you about.)
 
My only concern with calling is of course raising any flags/calling attention to my account.

Does anyone know how they function in terms of deleting the campaign and re-creating another and submitting could this potentially re-enter it in the queue and perhaps not get overlooked?

I've had nothing but bad luck costing me many $XX,XXX come from contacting google, however I've also never had ads just sit pending- they either get approved or disapproved.

Good to see it's not just me though, that company gets more and more ridiculous every day.
 
Google has been doing some weird stuff lately.
Yesterday, I started a new campaign. I must of tripped up the system all of my current ads got shut down saying ads are not displayed please contact support. I contact support they tell me account is under review. I have been spending on here for a while I do not know why it is under review. Then of course I log back in after they call me and verify my information. All of my quality scores went from great and ok to poor. had to start all over now that I am flagged I am sure they will keep just slapping me.
damn it
 
I canceled my campaigns with them after they took around 3-4 days to review a simple ad. Google is starting to abandon what is there bread and butter and starting to try to focus on things that are slightly overreaching and probably won't give them the same market share in 5-10 years. Either way I know many people are pissed but it is terrible a company that size takes days or even weeks to review something that takes 3 minutes a piece.
