Angry Rejected Ads Confusion

Question #1

I'm running about 20 campaigns right now and noticed that while my campaigns we're approved some of my keywords within my orders were rejected. For the most part I'm running the same ads within the respective orders with the obvious difference in individual keywords, but a lot of my keywords were rejected.

I don't understand how an identical ad can be approved for one keyword and not another. They are highly relevant, point to good landing pages and have already been oked by Google and running for months on AdSense. I basically mirrored our Google ads on MSN. Actually...that's exactly what I did.

Question #2

Why do I have approved ads that have not gone live yet? I was looking through my ads to see if they were still pending and most of them that hadn't gone live yet were approved? Why would my approved ads not go live once they were oked?

Question #3

Is there a way to run a report that will give me all my rejected keywords? Going through all my campaigns and the orders within those campaigns is proving to be a very tedious task. Is there a better way?

Post Over character limit due to dynamic keywords

Ok so I just called MSN and found out why the keywords within my orders were rejected and approved. It has to do with the character count. I was using dynamic keywords in most of my ads that had problems. My count was just over the character limit. Easy fix, but now I have to wait again before my ads hit.

I chuckled when the service rep told me they're usually live in 3-8 hours. It took my first round of ads over 4 days to post. Which, after bouncing this forum, isn't all that bad. Some people have waited up to 10 days.

Which is bizzare because these are the same ads that are running on Google and they have the same character count. Easy fix, but now I have to wait again before my ads hit.

Are you sure they did not mean 3-8 days ... that would be more like it.
