Newbie question: I am running a new campaign for a keyword just today. I put a high bid etc. for a new website. However, my google ad is not showing. No quality score reporting or anything as it is a brand new campaign. Is this a sandbox or something? I have a very high bid yet no appearance on google ads.

Ads get approved within 24-48hrs. Try using Ads Diagnostic Tool as well.

Mine was approved but not showing - i guess thats because it had literally been 30 minutes since approval ?

@archive just wait, in 24hrs if there are no impressions check the diagnostic tool.

You'll notice that the first couple of days are really slow on new campaigns, or when you make major changes to a campaign. It normally goes into a "learning mode" for a couple days and then starts performing normally. If you don't see any impressions after 24 hours, then check the diagnostic tool.
