Are My AdCenter Ads Live??

I've been submitting ads to AdCenter for the past couple days and it appears to be going ok, but I'm not sure if my ads are showing up in searches yet. I'm looking at my spends and impressions and what not, but there isn't any data. I tried searching for some of my keywords on MSN, but they aren't showing up yet. My one thought was that it was too soon to see anything. The status says submitted but I'm not sure if I'm waiting to be approved or not.

How long does it take before my ads go live? Is there a person or a bot that oks my ads? I submitted some of my ads 2 days ago..Am I just jumping the gun?

I'm new to AdCenter...well I suppose everyone is. I'm just wondering when these will hit.

Same scenario here too

3 Accounts; 25 keywords; No approvals yet...

Yeah is there a standard for this? Are we waiting for a person to approve our ads? I just want to have some sort of idea of what to expect turnaroundwise.

It's taking 10 days plus for some ads to show up. I just found this on Webmaster World. My question is; What if you wait 10 days and then your ad is shot down?

I submitted most of my ads on 7.18.06 and the majority of them were approved by the following weekend. I've been searching through MSN to see our ads, but when I put in our keywords I'm not seeing any of them come up. From the Campaign Summary Page it's clear that I'm getting clicks though I'm not sure how. I checked at least 20 of our keywords and didn't see one ad come up.

I'm confused...Can anyone shed a little light on this?

1) They are not aproved very fast; it may take up to one, two weeks 'till they are aproved.

2) If you don't see them that doesn't mean that other people don't see them (maybe you set the ads to be displayed for different areas, maybe your budget for the day is exhausted, maybe only the ads ranked higher than yours are displayed at that time, maybe, maybe, maybe).
