I submitted an ad to admob about 3 weeks ago, and it's STILL pending approval. A few months back I recall I submitted a WAP ad, and it took a whopping 2 months to be approved, by which point I had forgotten I even submitted it. How the hell can I speed up this damn approval process?
I tried to contact their support, but they go to far lengths to avoid talking to their customers; their contact page is a list of every office they own across the world, along with Google maps links so I can view their pretty buildings. Do they expect me to show the images to my carrier pigeon so he can fly over my support request?
Even worse, since I have no way of contacting these people, I have no way of actually getting the money I deposited out of the account either. It's like a bank account where you can only deposit money. I think I at least deserve some damn interest...
Did you try the generic contact form or this one http://support.google.com/admob/bin/...proval_process ?
If you tried the link above and still no luck, up your budget and keep submitting.
Approvals have been very good lately - usually less than 24h.
Keep contacting them. Don't advertise garbage on there.
I'm advertising an app we created and we're seeing approvals in under 24 hours.
The sketchy ringtone campaign we're testing out has been pending for a few days now.
deondup makes a point, offer quality might have something to do with it.
