To view the editorial status of keywords or ads:

• Click the Campaigns tab and then click the Editorial Status subtab. Or, if you received notification that the keyword or ad has been declined or removed, on the Dashboard click the alert in the Alerts panel.
• To view the editorial status of an ad, click the Ads tab.
• To find a specific keyword or ad, enter search criteria and click Search. The keywords or ads matching your criteria are displayed.
• For additional information about an item’s editorial status, click its name.

To view approved keywords or ads:

• Click the Campaigns tab.
• Click a campaign name.
• Click an ad group name. The Ad Group details page opens.

Most keywords go live shortly after submission -- usually within minutes. However, keywords or ads containing sensitive content (such as ads relating to online pharmacies, or adult content) require additional time for review and processing.
